First Narrowband Colour attempt...sorry it's NGC3372

Hi,

Sorry for the unoriginal target choice - but I wanted to try my hand at narrowband synthetic colour processing and it is an easy target to go for. I have enjoyed the detail in the Ha shots I have taken but wanted to try for colour and have tried RGB, LRGB and HaRGB. I have had a lot of issues with all of those so I decided to try HaOiii (I do not have an Sii filter - yet) and James Cannistras Bicolour Narrowband technique - basically this maps Ha to Red, Oiii to Blue and synthesyses green. The result is attached. My result is not a good as I had hoped for but it is a start, it was about 30 mins of Oiii and 60 of Ha then the clouds came in...
