Hi Marc, This is one very nice image. The narrow band has really enlightened the colour and added a huge amount of depth to the colour.

A thing you can try when narrow band imaging with the QHY8 is to image at 1 x 1 and if you have a copy of Nebulosity, select the discard all but the luminosity then go through a full combine process. I found this worked extremely well for Ha. The lum channel contains almost all the light which passes the filters and should allow you to get more detail than you can get by splitting the channels and taking the nearest colour to the band pass colour.

Very nice, It is obvious from the quality of the data that this has been a very long imaging process. Nice work. Keep at it.
