Am looking at a filter to use with the ASI533MC Pro.
Currently I am shooting primarily galaxy and star clusters, because they are a higher number of targets from my location for them.
I do plan on getting into nebula shooting with the 72mm refractor (which is what this would be for) as I have full filters for the mono camera.
So far, I've been decently pleased with the shots that I've gotten of galaxy with the camera itself, so I'm leaning towards a narrow band filter to widen my target selection. I can get a more galaxy/cluster targeted later.

This is some test data with the new Apertura 72mm and the ASI533MC Pro camera
 
OK... got the filter drawer on order.
Now just need to decide on the Optpolong L-Enhance or the L-Extreme.
I realize that the Extreme has a narrower band... but is it worth the additional money when most of your captures are in a bortle 5/6 area?
