Imaging M81 with Dual L Enhance filter

[Skyline]

Hi,

I decided to have a go imaging with a Dual L-Enhance filter using my ASI294MC Pro camera using the 130PDS on M81. Just 2 hours of data at 300s lights.

I was quite surprised of how much detail was picked up, actually I found it better then the IDAS LPSv4 I used to use.

I think I would get similar results in using this filter when imaging other galaxies.

Does that mean I can sell on my IDAS filter? As I mainly use the Optolong Dual filter with my camera.

This is another version I processed, the colours are better balanced in this one and the blue wisp in the outer arms is starting to show, need more exposure. I find Galaxies very hard to process.

Much better colour in the galaxy, image as a whole looks a little foggier to me though.
