When imaging from light polluted areas, the narrower the bandpass in SHO narrowband filters the better. Monochrome astrophotography with such filters can produce incredible results. Here I review the new 3nm (extremely narrow!) SHO filter offering from Optolong. Are they perfect? No. But I love them - check out the details in the video.
