The exposure time is now 4 hours total.
Comparing to the previous 1 hour exposure there is now a noticeable reduction in noise and sharper emission peaks that allows a more accurate measurement of the redshifted hydrogen wavelengths.

The redshifted OIII wavelength is now visible above the noise level.

The redshifts are now z(H-Gamma)- 0.160, z(H-Beta)- 0.160, z(H-Alpha)-0.156.

Average z-0.159.
