I'm taking Ha SII and OIII on eta car and in comparison to Ha there isnt much SII and OIII so do I take longer subs for those filters?
Thanks

I think it depends on the particular nebula but last time I did Carina in NB I did 5 min subs for Ha, mostly 5 min subs for OIII plus a few 10 min and lots of 10 min subs for SII. I also find the filters react differently to light pollution (SII and especially OIII I think have a much higher background level than Ha when I image in the city) so sometimes I need more subs to compensate.
