I did mine in Bortle 6 using the L-quad and the 294mc which has a wider field of view so the images match up well. My integration time was 6 hours but the larger aperture made up for the shorter integration time. Love your version mate it's a cracker.
Also can I ask how do you find the EQ5 belt modded mount is it a good semi portable mount to use? I'm looking to replace my eq3 with something but can't afford/refuse to pay for what they are asking for a strainwave/harmonic mount

Thanks Nick. Tbh I was expecting a bit more from the quad filter. Sure it gave me a very slight outer detail on the wispy dust but that's about it. I compared it to the non filtered stack. I suppose bortle 5 I'm not going to see loads of difference anyway.
The HEQ5 I take ro Wiruna and other locations no problem at all. Belt mod is a must if you want consistency in guiding though.
I'm actually going to put mine on the market soon as I'm ready for an Am3 or am5n lol.
