1st light of M31 with new grab and go kit

[Comet Hunter]

1st light with my new grap and go kit which consists of:
WOGT71 triplet
ASI533mc camera
(new) Skywatcher HEQ5 mount
(new) Antilia Triband RGB Ultra
Asiair Mini

8 hours last night all ran flawless.
not too different than the M31 I took a week or so back with the much larger camera and telescope.

Very nice result from a portable kit.

This looks awesome! I really like the detail and colors that the RGB filter is giving you. I have heard good things about that filter.

It's funny, last night I was back at it in my Bortle 9 5x6' patio setting up my gear among the plants. And I got an hour in on M31 with the l-Enhance filter to grab some Ha data for it. And my framing was exactly the same as yours. Now I hope when I get my broadband data that I can make mine to look as good as this one.

this new filter will replace my L pro and at times, the L Extreme and Antilia 5 nm. Now with 2 kits, the games begin...lol

Now that's my question, as if I don't have enough questions.

So you like this RGB over the L-Pro it seems. I did just pre-order the L-Quad from Optolong which is supposed to be their L-Pro upgrade. I don't know when it will come in. Now you have me wondering if I should cancel that and just get the Antlia RGB instead.

I bet optolong came out with it to complete and it's just as good. I gave up trying to keep up. Lol

That is a very good result I would say.
