These are my first Ha images Wayne so I'm still learning myself mate ... glad you like them.

The only thing I can say is good scope ... good camera ... good mount ... good filter ... good weather ... good luck

There are lots of members on IIS who could tell you more than me about this type of imaging. The only thing that I already commented on was that because I use an SBIG ST2000XCM camera with dual chip for guiding I have to make my guiding exposures much longer than I normally would because of the big reduction in light striking the CCD due to the very narrow bandwidth of the Baader 7nm Ha filter. Other than that it's the same as colour or mono imaging .... make sure you focus before you start and monitor your guiding.
