Thanks Mike! When if first shot the object I didn't see much data when using the 03 and s2 filters so I gve up on the object. Using the optolong lp pro really helped.
I started this shot of SH2-254-257 when I lived in Florida back in 2019 and I finally finished this 12-12-26 here in Oregon.
I used the Celestron 9.25 in Florida

Thanks Mike, I did the Rosette a long time ago at a dark site with a modified Canon Rebel XT and the William Optics FLT 110. I also did it with the Tak in SHO in my backyard in Florida.
We finally had some nice clear nights in Oregon so I dusted off the equipment. I used the FSQ106 with the .073 reducer, ASI533mc and the Optolong L Pro filter. I took three hours of 30 sec shots. Bortle 7.
We had a couple of nice nights to get a shot of comet Lemmon. There were trees in the line of site so it was still a little bright when taking the shot.

I finally had a very good night for shooting the planets. I was ready to give up on my planetary imaging since moving to Oregon from florida over two years ago. This was taken with the Celestron 9.25 Edge with a 2.5 Powermate and the ASI 224 camera. I stacked 20% of 2000 frames in Autostakkert...
Yes it is and chages quickly. When I first looked the big one on the top left was much brighter, by the time I set up for photography is changed in brightness.
