First narrow band filter

[Red meteor]

Have just purchased a Baader 7nm Ha filter on astrobuysell and had to give it try. Looking for a suitable target I found most of the H clouds in the Milky Way were low in the NE so had a go at M101 for which I have been colllecting LRGB data. Was not to impressed, apparently not a lot of Ha in M101. By then the Bubble Neb has risen a bit higher so below is the result of 20 subs of 300s. I was a lot happier after seeing the first sub. Taken at full moon so need not curse it's polluting beams any more!

This is just a quick stack and stretch without flats. WIP.

Well done, an Ha filter is a good investment and you're right about M101, it's a dim target anyway, and very little Ha to demonstrate your new filter.
