Optolong L Quad Enhanced filter review
In this video i will show you 6 different target's i captured using the Optolong-L-Quad filter. from Bortle 3 to 7 under different Moon phases from 30% to a Full Moon. Find this filter to be a good balanced filter. Link to other video here th-cam.com/video/yaHiaZJdRsQ/w-d-xo.html
Equipment used Astro-Tech 115EDT

      Yes you do you telescopes use multiple curved opticle elements such as mirrors or lenses to gather light or other electro magnetic radiation to bring that light or radiation to a focus where is can be veiwed and studied. (I think) the more lenses there are the closer and more focused it is far away and i think the light he was carrying around the telescope was drowning out the other light sources this (you) is another example of people on the internet not knowing what theyre talking about

    Great video. You sold me on it with the seahorse nebula, a target I've been thinking of for a while. I tried without filters with my mono but the gradients left a result I wasn't entirely please with. Would you recommend this from bortle 3 skies on a dark nebula? I've just switched to OSC as I will be traveling to dark skies more and doing less narrowband from my light polluted skies.

    • @intergalacticastro
      @intergalacticastro 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah i would definitely use it at a Bortle 3 I can't wait to travel to a Bortle 2 to also try it. When the sky's are nice and dark this filter does great at picking up details in the Nebulas and Galaxies or whatever target really good all around filter. I do have a Optolong L Ultimate filter but haven't touched it since using the L-Quad. Thank you clear skies

    My goodness, I'd love to be as good a post processer as yourself my friend! Your images are incredible! I too much much prefer the more natural look. I don't much like the Hubble Palette type images, and also those images where the colours are off the scale intense and very un-natural looking. That being said, I respect highly the skill and imagination of the creators of said types of images! I'm roughly 14 months into imaging, after many years visual Astro. I live in England, so in those 14 months, I'd say I've only averaged around 2 cloudless nights per month! In fact, during the last 7 months, because of the worst weather I've known since I ever started using telescopes for visual then imaging, in those 7 long months I've only had 4 cloudless night skies! Painful! lol. So my progress is really slow due to the aforementioned circumstances, unfortunately. Thanks for the great vid my friend! you have my subscription!
