Trying the equipment after I had problems with humidity and terrible subs as a consequence.
I didn't perform any desiccation procedure, just left the camera and filters in a dry room for a few days and seems that the problem disappeared.
The subject would really need a wider FOV... or maybe I'm just looking for an excuse to try doing a mosaic, eventually!
I really like the contrast between the dark and Ha areas, with SII and OIII this can end up a real beauty.
