NOTE: This image was taken under a very polluted sky ( yellow-red zone ) and with high humidity. I am very impressed about how much signal I acquired and I have to say that the L-Pro filter worked very well against the light pollution! I had to integrate a lot because of the sky which was not so good.

Very satisfied of this result!

 

I always want to thank Terry Hancock, who is my teacher, for explaining me how to reach a good result even if I have acquired from a polluted sky and not only - I could not have reached all my latest results without his help! Thank you, Terry!
