IC405 the flaming star nebula

[Comet Hunter]

Ended up with about 6 hours from last night using 3 min light frames. I used the L-extreme and the WOGT71 and 533mc for this image
The other night I took the same target but with the SV, 2600mc and using the Antilia ALP-T filter, but the filter brought in way too much signal and it was way over exposed.
to the point I could not salvage anything in the bright areas
I am finding on bright nebula's the L Extreme does a better job than the ALP_T unless I am using it wrong?

This looks great Ed! Lot's a nice detail in it.

That's interesting. The ALP-T is a 5nm filter where as the L-Extreme is a 7nm. So if you kept the exposures the same, the L-Xtreme would overexpose more the ALP-T.

That's what I thought, but the opposite happened to me now on 3 very bright different targets. My next step is to do side by side test as you did but with bright targets

How interesting. Let me know how it goes.
