My first H-alpha effort

Hmm... lots to learn. I'm getting lots of black (missing) pixels on the ST-8 by the looks. I can only put this down to -30 chip temp on the night (-5 ambient) because I haven't had the sensor that cold before. Any ideas?

Anyway - I haven't tried Ha before, so this is new to me. I have to say that i think I'm going to like it. Lots of fun

Tak FS-102@f6.3, SBIG ST-8i, Astronomics 7nm Ha on G11 guided by FS60-C/QHY5. Quite windy. 4 x 600sec lights and autodarks. No flats at this stage.

EDIT 230709: Tried again - reworked original data and it's smoother.
