Description

This is my first up-close shot of the Elephant since beginning astrophotography.  I wanted to use this project to experiment with using the Radian Triad quad band filter for OSC as a supposed "ultimate" luminance filter.  The difference between using the Triad data and not was insane.  I will definitely be using the Triad with any SHO shoots I will be doing for now on.  The amount of extra clean detail that can be utilized is truly unbelievable.
