Looking good Colin, despite the haze. Coincidence, i am shooting 5128 in narrowband as well. Just grabbed 24 x300s Oiii tonight before the moon came up. Also grabbed about 50 lum subs. I have some Ha from last year. I was not expecting much signal from Oiii but was pleasantly surprised by what showed up. If it stays clear through tomorrow night i might have enough to process.
I suffer with dew as well, and had the heaters going on the MN190 corrector for an hour before i started. Being on the lake here winter is always wet wet wet, but being in a raised floor observatory helps. I keep a hair dryer in the obs and give the corrector a blast every half and hour on low heat setting, it seems to work ok.
Your QHY has a heater doesn't it? I am running the ZWO sensor window heater on the 1600, a great $19 addon.
