I haven't really done that much narrowband imaging... it was mostly a thing that I did when the moon was more than 50% full and I didn't want to image galaxies.

I've been pretty happy with my narrowband data, often taken on or near full moon with total disregard to how far away the moon is from the target. You can definitely get good results.

Is it a good idea to try and go deep, digging for faint nebulae in such conditions? Probably not... but can you get usable, even great results with many targets? Absolutely!

I think people worry too much about the moon... if it's clear and I can be bothered, I'm imaging something. Just try to pick the target that will be compromised the least by the moon.
