I recently captured the Tulip Nebula using three different filters (Optolong L-Pro, ZWO Duoband, and No Filter) and put together a video comparing the results. The goal was to see which filter brings out the best detail and color in this complex emission nebula.

The video covers comparison of single exposure and stacked images, the differences, and my thoughts on which filter is the best choice depending on your gear and goals.

I’d love to hear your feedback or any tips on narrowband imaging and filter selection you have!
