First Narrow Band Image

Well, didn't turn out so good, weather was poor/windy, but had to have a go. Done in Hubble Palette of the Homonculus/Keyhole Nebula Region/NGC3372, 80minutes of data used, Ha,Ha,SII,OIII, with Bintel N200 8" reflector, Meade DSI Pro2, Atik Electric Filter Wheel, guided with 102mm Celestron Refractor and DSI Colour1 on Eq6 with EQMOD.
Thanks for looking!

Good shot there

...despite the conditions.

Doesn't eta just dominate the area!!. Most of those larger, bright stars around it are just "mere" O and B class supergiants!!!. Fluff!!!!

Colour balance is a bit weird (thats OK in NB

), nice work for only 80min total (?) on a DSI, sheesh, didnt think that was even possible

Looks good to me.
Plenty of detail there.
Well done.

Couldn't help myself with the "no rules" for correct narrowband colour, hehe!!

Looks good to me mate... I like the first color set better...

You mentioned it was in hubble pallet, you then said it was Ha Ha SII OIII - (Im assuming you're using Ha as Lum)
You are say that its Lum, then Ha=R SII=G OIII=B Hubble pallet is SII=R Ha=G OIII=B

so your image should be Ha(L) - SII(R) - Ha(G) - OIII(B)

Sorry Alex, got my murds wuddled!!

You're right, L=Ha, SII=R, Ha=G, OIII=B. It's the way the scwey wabbit wrote it down!!

Looks pretty good to me. No expert but really looks good considering some of the junk I produced with a DSI.

Very well done. Keep experimenting. Purple looks OK.
