M8 narrow band

[allan gould]

I tried out my new "halo-free" Astronomik filters tonight on M8 and was able to capture 5x10min each of Ha, SII and OIII before the dew got to me. RGB was presented as SII, Ha and OIII in that order, stacked in DSS and processed with PS3.
5"apo with WOFF4 and guided with PHDguiding and imaged with QSI583wsg with Nebulosity3.
I need to tweek this some more to get the most out of it but I was happy with my first solo attempt at NB.
Comments welcomed

Very nice Allan, looks like the new filters are working better than your first lot.

Well done mate. We're all doing NB tonight ;)

Love the colors. The Sii came out a treat. Very nice work. :thumbsup:

That's really neat Allan. The NB filters create that 3D feel. Really nice.

Good to see you're getting decent results from the new filters, Allan!

Looks good Allan. That that QSI/5" apo is a nice combination.

Great image Allan, a testament to the QSI quality :)
There seems to be some coma/tilt especially in the upper left corner. It looks very similar to what I see in my images when the spacing on my coma corrector is not 100% correct, I'm still tweaking it slightly... wonder if it's the same for you?
