The L Extreme obviously only lets through Ha and Oiii.The Lobster is a different beast
Well done indeed !!

Thanks Martin! I totally agree that the Sii is definitely needed if you want any resemblance to SHO. When I first downloaded the raw FITS I was skeptical that the Sii would make any difference because it looked so noisy and faint. But when you combine in processing its makes ALL the difference. I use the LUM channel from the Sii but I think next time Ill try the Red channel only as its less noisy. It all depends on how much integration time I can get with the Sii filter. The more the better given its only going to give 25% due to Bayer matrix.
Thanks again!
