Description

This is my longest integration so far as I moved to a bortle 8/9 zone. Also my first photo with the new gear. I had posted a much worse version of this a few days ago but I realized there were terrible ghosty/cloudy blothces on all my Ha and Sii subs and resulting final image. Upon searching all the forums available, figured it happened to few others, especially with narrowband Ha and Sii filters. I shot flats later on and luckily retracted the nebulosity under those ghosty patches. Not sure how much of nebulosity is recovered but at least i have something acceptable now. 

If anyone else is having the same trouble with their Ha and Sii filters please let me know if you found the reason why there are irregular reflections/ghosty patches on their subs.
