About this image

Processing M27 image in NB filter was rather challenging as the centre of the nebula gets over-exposed, had to pay great attention in processing to reveal the inner and outer details of the nebulosity.

An excellent image indeed. Sorry for the dumb question, but what is an NB filter please ?

Thanks Tim. NB is Narrow-Band filter which cuts light pollution and passes certain wavelengths. It's amazing for light-polluted areas like mine.
