Lovely image and a great baptism for your new Antlia Oiii 3nm filter.  Cuts through the Bortle 8/9 LP extremely well.

I have only just heard about these Antlia filters, as I was going down the route of the Baader ultranarrowband having bought an Ha 3.5nm a year or so ago, and the Oiii was not available.   Might give this some more thought as this is the 2nd good image I have seen with the Antlia Oiii filter.

I see you are using a Baader Ha filter with it, how does the point of focus compare with the Antlia filter?  They certainly seem to work well together.

I am very happy with this filter. A big difference to Baader OIII 8,5nm.

Sorry to be a pain. 

Also, what filterwheel does it go in?

I live in  Bortle 8, and find I can only do Oiii in bright targets, and dimmer ones nothing ever shows up with Baader 8.5 nm.  would you say it picks up Oiii in your location better?

Sometimes i use filter directly on GPU coma corrector with TS Newton 150/600.  Here o3 baader 8,5nm in this configuration - no flat:
