Shooting from the burb's however requires some lateral thinking...and your rendition provides that in spades 
As for the Red. Bin 407 is working for me at the moment  |
Thanks Peter, Martin's image is lovely, and given it's in HALRGB, taken with a Planewave under super dark skies it should be! However, as he has not used O3 or S2 in his rendition it's not a like for like comparison.
A quick google of most HOO M16 images shows most have Blue pillars, presumably due to the predominant strength of the O3 signal present.
Interestingly though, you mentioned Hb and this
"Natural Narrowband" M20 image from England is well worth a look.
Were it not for the continuing lockdown and financial ramifications, I'd seriously consider purchasing a 2" Chroma Hb filter to experiment with!
Hope you enjoyed the Red!
