Thanks. I’ll have to do a moonlit/moonless comparison to see how much contrast/OIii I’m losing with my Altair 6nm filter. Good luck with the lunar photography!

I’m still new to astrophotography but have recently upgraded from DLSR+lens to an IMX571-based camera and a Redcat 51. I’m not sure if you’ve considered it, but I’m really enjoying using a dual-narrowband filter on nights when the moon is bright, allowing me to take plenty of pictures of emission nebulae. I was surprised how many were perfectly sized for an APS-C sensor and the Redcat! Having used long camera lenses, the Redcat is too wide for my tastes for the moon.
