Like what the 3nM Ha filter can bring to extreme contrast.
At times I find the 12nM Ha filters I use/ have used while nice with their band pass during moonlit nights, seem to lack that extra zing & zip with contrast to the HII areas.
It looks I think the 3nM choice is a good one for enhancing the later compilation with L & RGB data if only to bring out better, the finer filaments and structure.
Look forward to the finished HALrgb image.

Thanks Rich. I'm not sure yet that the improvement with the 3nm filter is worth the extra price but I think it's the zippiest Tarantula I've ever taken. I tried to get some RGB the other night but things went horribly wrong so it's going to be a while I think.

Thanks Jase. Good point there as the Tarantula always looks better in a wider field context but of course the main purpose of this shot was to test out the new filter. I have done a few mosaics but only 2 pane ones. Given the limited imaging possibilities offered by the weather lately, doing mosaics hasn't been a high priority.
