I have about 10 hours of dual narrowband exposure on the Cone Nebula using L Ultimate and Askar D2 filters with an ASI6200MC - still need some filter less exposures for the stars which I’ll collect this week. Instead of the tr📷 IMG_8322.jpegIMG_8322.jpegaditional colorful renditions, I chose to render it as a darker nebulosity - just for the heck of it.
