Description

I picked up the new dual band filter, the IDAS NBZ II, which features an 8nm bandwidth at OIII and 10nm bandwidth at Ha.  Finally had another clear night last night so I hooked it up to my Redcat 51 with my ASI533MC camera and thought I would try shooting IC410 (Tadpoles Nebula) and IC405 (Flaming Star Nebula) together as with the very wide FOV of the Redcat 51 they both would fit when framed properly.  One of the problems with a lot of the new multi-band filters is they can give some bad halo's on very bright stars.  Right between IC410 and IC405 are five bright stars between magnitude 6 through 5.  I was only able to catch 50x300" subs but this was quite sufficient to give the filters a test.  I think it came out ok.  I post processed with PI and Photoshop.  I use the RCAstro plugins BXT and NXT to clean things up a tad but even before these, there were no bad halo's in the image.  Looking forward to other targets in the coming year.
