I took advantage of some decent seeing tonight and had a nice time capturing B33 and M42. I haven't done too much Deep Sky lately so I was a little out of practice and used the L-Ultimate filter. B33 came out predominantly red so next time I may try the Moon and Skyglow filter. If I remember correctly, I think that filter was a little more subtle on its colorization and gave me enough contrast to tease out the horse head without washing out the image in red, especially the Flame Nebula.
