Indeed... I struggled with OSC Ha imaging for some time.. Even with 6 hours exposure I could not get a really really clean image of the horse head.. Noise was really hard to control because signal was so hard to attain.. On brighter targets like Eta Carine the OSC camera did ok with Ha, as with M8/M20, but on dimmer targets it was a real pain... Mono is really the way to go if you want to image in narrowband.. OSC can do the job, at the cost of all the hair you pull out along the way..
