This one looks pretty nice to me.
It looks pretty nice to me too John.
Also, as an unmodified camera, using the Fuji you get considerably better Hydrogen Alpha transmission of ~45% compared with that of the other usual DSLR suspects which are in the ~20-30% range, so that your 1 minute exposures collect as much Hydrogen Alpha on the sensor as the typical unmodified DSLRs* approximately 1.5 minute exposure.

Best

* That's strictly for DSLRs and some mirrorless for which I've seen the camera's spectral response data. I'd love to see the data for the current unmodified Nikon and Canon mirrorless cameras as some of the pics that I've seen for the Nikon Z series look particularly rich in colour, although that could also be someone heavy on the saturation/vibrance.
