Hello! I'm needing some advice on Origin camera settings when using Optolong filters. L-Pro & Extreme. Using Origin in Houston, TX. Bortle 8-9 conditions. Any advice appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I have the Optolong L-Pro and I just use the same settings as the clear filter from Celestron, in other words just remove the clear filter in pop in the L-Pro and leave the settings to 10 seconds.
I used the L-Pro with my previous scope the Evolution 8 w/HyperStar for 3 years. The scopes were similar in fov and were similar with fast focal ratios of f/2.2 for the Origin and 1.9 for the one with the HyperStar. Colors were better with the L-Pro than the Celestron Nebula filter. You can check my gallery for examples.

Thanks! I'll give that a try when we have some good seeing here.
