IC-1871 The Crocodile and the Canary (a.k.a bobble bird)

I have been trying to collect high resolution Ha data with the C11Edge for this project for weeks. I whittled the data down to the best 8.5 hours or so with a FWHM of about 2.65--not really what I had in mind, but I can image Ha for a single project only for so long. As an experiment, I decided to use OIII and SII data collected 5 years ago with a 4" refractor (np101is) and Ha from the C11Edge. Unfortunately, I only had a jpeg to work with, so I had to extract the OIII and SII in a non linear state and gave it a shot. I registered all data to the Televue image, combined the extracted stacks and C11 Ha it into a SHO image and use the Ha as a luminance, then up-sampled back to the C11 scale. After some palette adjustment, I was pleasantly surprised at the result. As most detail is provided in the luminance, the only thing that the refractor data provided was chroma. The JPEG is a rather poor image, but there is no changing it now..

My question is, do you think it would be beneficial to collect OIII and SII data with the C11Edge, or am I not likely to see much of a difference? I can still add Ha subs. If I get a good night or two, I can reduce the FWHM to 1.9-2.0., which is about as good as I can manage at my location. I probably should collect OIII and SII data with the C11. It will make for an interesting comparison (but so man, and targets are beckoning, and my FSQ 106 is soon to arrive).

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
