Description

I managed to gather the last few OIII subs in between torrential autumnal rain that has hit the UK (as remanants of hurricane Lorenzo) and with some time this morning finished some flats for the processing. The OIII was a little noisier than usual as a result of only middling sky conditions.

I used the Ha as a luminance and then as an after thought I used the OIII also (with a suitable mask) and am pleased that this additional step has given the 'bat' feature a better 3-d effect. It looks to be chasing/hunting some insect off to the left edge of the frame :-).

Thanks for looking.
