My first ever attempt at using my 3 nanometer filters. This allows light into the camera at only one specific wavelength: 656.3nm +/- 1.5nm. This means that pretty much all the light pollution is shut out.
Here is the horsehead nebula in Hydrogen Alpha!

This is a total of 80 minutes of exposure, and the fine details like the mists of gas rising from the ridge near the Horsehead itself are 🤯🤯.
As I add more data (soon this nebula unavailable to me, will need to wait until November!), this will get smoother and more defined.

By combining it with RGB colour data (Hydrogen alpha is in the red spectrum), I can really make the colours pop!
I'm working on a final version, and it will be GLORIOUS!

And this is the light pollution I cut throug to take the image.
I love the physics of this hobby~ not a fan of the hours and the cold, though!
