Then the light suddenly went on - this noise looks different to that which we normally see because there is practically no camera noise at all. This is what shot noise looks like in a narrowband image - more signal gives more noise and there is no camera noise (dark, read, FPN) to degrade the darker areas. I didn't think that I would ever see the day when we would have access to a high QE, essentially noise free camera - but here it is. And it is affordable. woohoo

Now that's better.... looks much more like what I'm used to seeing in a well calibrated sub
