It would be better to bring everything to a normal balance, or rather present it in black and white to show the benefit of the filter. As it is now, nothing is clear except for the blue-violet coloring.

Okay, I'll do that soon. I'll compare the ZWB3 filter and an IR-pass filter in black and white.
In any case, I wanted to show what it looks like in "direct light," since filters like ZWB3 (an analog of UG5 glass) are not often used in astrophotography.
