Hi Chris,
I thought I would get some more 12nm Ha images of M8/M20 last night too but I felt that the moon was too close to the region to get adequate results - so didn't try! The moon was actually in the PHD window when the Goto had slewed to the correct area!!! that's some guide star/object!!
Tried getting some shots of Eta instead (well away from moon) sinking into the west.
Did some Eta shots a while ago as the Moon was beginning to encroach - shots became increasing bleached of any detail so I've given the moon a wide berth for my Ha imaging ever since. 7nm might give you a narrower window so to speak, but I would suggest avoiding the moon!
Doug
