Nice work Rusty Eta really looks good in Ha.

yes having NB filters certainly helps in moonlit skies, using 12nm NB filters I have noticed that there is still a tad more contrast under moonless conditions and the moon can also shine down the tube at certain angles and create havoc too, especially with a Newt because the side light input is up near the end of the tube, although this is much less likely in a dome To hopefully help under the Moon, I have a full set of Astronomiks new line of 6nm NB filters on their way, this should improve NB imaging under moonlit skies..?
