Thanks Mike and Trish, I was quite surprised what showed up. I think I need to take some more dark frames to fix some apparent calibration issues (some banding that shows with extreme stretching).

Yes, I have let a good lookin clear night go here tonight too cause the Moon is sitting pretty much smack in the middle of my three possibles on my list, a frustrating 30 deg from all three (too close) so not worth the effort IMO, even with Ha...stayed home and watched tellie with my wife instead

Mike

Thanks Mike. You should have done some Ha over the north/south! You can spend time with your wife every other cloudy night

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.

Quite interested in what shows up in OIII. Ha was my only testing option; fog, moon and hours of 5s L subs didn't interest me!
It does have a heater yes, went over to the QHY mostly because they've released some adapters that allow it to be bolted to the CFW (still waiting for them) which is better than a screw connection and allows me to put it in an orientation that I prefer
