Description:
After 3 years, with much more experience and with more "powerful" means, I returned to this beautiful deep sky object of which I am very fond as it was one of my very first planetary nebulae (subjects that I like very much, together with the star clusters). Compared to the old version made with Qhy168c and L-eXtreme filter, the L-Ultimate filter here brought out much more OIII signal despite light pollution conditions having worsened dramatically in just 3 years. Even the stars improved a lot using the L-QEF filter instead of a simple UV/IR-cut, also thanks to the installation of the deflector which took place after the first attempt on Abell 33.
