Another test imaging session. I compared the image with the Svbony SV220 filter and without it. The filter does not introduce additional distortions, cuts light pollution, and is deemed suitable for further use. This image combines 19 frames without the filter at 1 minute each, and 80 frames with the filter at 2 minutes each. Stars from 5 frames with the filter

Test shot. Testing the main mirror aperture, new spider, and the dual-band Svbony SV220 filter. It was windy. 5-minute exposures were affected by wind, so I limited them to two minutes. Stars are stacked from 5 frames.
