Description

This was literally the first clear night for a month and I had to leave before sunset so I only had about 3 hours once I got polar aligned before the predicted clouds came in.

This is almost exactly an hour on each of Sii, Ha and Oiii in 3nm, all 300-second subs from Bortle 8.5 in West London. I moved on to the next filter after every 5 just to make sure I got an even spread before the clouds, refocusing each time. This is first-light in narrowband on this scope (FRA500 with 0.7), I've only used it once before but with OSC and the new ASI Duo.

Given the limited time I couldn't get any LRGB subs so the stars are the Ha stars, I'll pick up from LRGB if we get another clear night this year.
