So this image came to fruition mainly out of a desire to test an SVBony SV220 filter that I bought but never got a chance to use. I selected NGC 6888 because it was very low in the sky, definitely in the murk of skyglow, with a near full moon; essentially stress testing the filter with the worst possible conditions. That being said, I am honestly extremely happy with what I have gotten and will probably use this filter any time I feel a need to shoot emission nebulae and the likes.

Obligatory gear list:

• Celestron CG5
• StellaMira 80mm F6.25
• Altair Hypercam 183c - the non-TEC model
• 2" SVBony UV-IR Cut Filter
• 2" SVBony SV220; 7nm Narrowband Filter (Ha & Oiii)
• Basic 30mm F4 Guide Scope and SVBony SV305 Pro

29x240s Lights @ 100 Gain; Darks, Flats & Bias all used. Edited in Photoshop, Siril used for and background extraction, Noise XTerminator back in PS.

As always, all tips for improvement are greatly appreciated!

Didn't really expect much due to the near-full moon, very happy with the resultant image though!
