3nm narrowband filters cut out a lot of light. This image represents over 14 hours of 3nm Ha data collection. I expect OIII and SII channels will require much more time than this.
A few more hours of data and smarter noise -reduction . . . Total data: 59x1200s
The original 20 Hours of Ha + 8-1/2 hours of SII. I finally get to play with color!
