Description

This was my first  experience with a Duo-Band filter. I'd spent most of the evening using my IR Cut filter and on different targets, bemoaning that it was a rare clear night and I really should be trying out the Duo-Band filter instead (it was a very bright moon). Eventually we decided to can the existing data and switch it out with the new filter around 2:30am. It gave me about an hour of data before the sun started coming back up around 4...

And boy, were the results awesome. I haven't even bothered processing the broadband results extensively because, well, the nebulosity isn't really there and the image is pretty boring. This is the out-of-camera OSC processing and a "false Hubble" processing of the same data. (Some pixel math processing techniques I found online.) I'm more keen on the Hubble colors at the moment.
