IC1386 with the 3nm Ha Astrodon filter - A first for me

[swag72]

I have recently got a 3nm Ha Astrodon filter and so put it to work last night on IC1386. The reason for this target was that I'd taken it the night before with my 7nm Ha Baader and I wanted to do a comparison. I've started a thread on that here http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/187535-comparison-between-7nm-ha-filter-and-3nm-ha-filter/

Here's the processed IC1386 data. I would welcome your thoughts on this.

Yes very very nice, the stars are back and make it look much more natural than the quick stretch version.

Some lovely data & processing in there Sara

Thanks Steve, John and Martin - I was pleased how this came out, especially as I used no flats or bias!!

I'm itching to try the 3nm on a fainter target now!!

Very, very image. Lovely subtle shades of grey in the nebula, but crisp where it needs to be. Really nice
