bright moon Horsey h a

This is 3hrs 50 mins with Tak 85 and FLI 8300 microline and baader 7nm Ha.
I can only get B33 through some trees so I don't know if I am going to add any further NB filters or LRGB as yet.
I quite like the monochrome look. Suits my Mod ambience!
Happy Xmas!
NB this was barely processed- stacked with no calibration in Maxim- I am still having hideous issues with darks and flats with this camera , don't know why but adding calibration really degrades the image. Any advice gratefully accepted.
Then contrast added a bit and cropped edges in S-tools, plus a bit of DD, then I swapped computers and realised how dark it was so I redid a few curves etc in PS5.1.
May all your christmas wishes come true my friends!!

That's looking pretty ok Graham, particularly if you are shooting through leaves! As for the calibration issues, no idea, could be any number of things I guess?

mono is also growing on me too! i dont have RGB filters yet (soon) but wondering if its worth a NB option?? looking forward to seeing more andhave a good yule!
