Ah yes, you might be right there Peter, I'll give them all a clean when inserting my new NB filters, hopefully next week?

Yes data and more data that is the quest.... You guys with observatories should really appreciate'em cause without'em mega data over multiple nights is veeeeery difficult, particularly with our shorter summer evenings

As I said I did do 2 hrs of Ha but with just 10min subs, F7.5 and the red insensitivity of the KAI11002 chip it was way too little - pretty faint stuff that. When I did the hand of God (CG4) last year which was also very faint in Ha I did some 8hrs worth of Ha data and that was still not enough really but I found it "was" useable in that case adding some 5hrs of Lum probably helped too though?

I did incorporate it in this potential Lum image but I wasn't happy with it when doing the LHaRGB combine so I left the Ha out in the end as it wasn't really adding anything to the bright Ha bits and just added under exposed noise to the rest of the field

Thanks for your reply Peter
