I recently finished my first narrowband image with my 2600mc camera and L extreme filter. 

I'm really pleased with the result but still finding my feet with Pixinsight.

I'd be interested to hear people's opinions on best practices/tips and tricks for narrowband image processing in Pixinsight with a single shot colour camera and the L Extreme filter.

Also, and feedback and on my image would be much appreciated 🙂

Very nice image.  All that lighter colored stuff in the center is Oiii data.  I shot this with the ES120ED & the Radian Ultra quad-band.  Have a look at Bill's HOO process.    https://astrob.in/4apywp/0/  Cheers!

Guiding with Optolong L-Ultimate?
Hi everyone - is anybody using an L-Ultimate while guiding? I'd seen at least one anecdotal report elsewhere that this works fine with the 2600MC Duo's guide chip, but I'm cautious since it's just 3nm bandpass, so very little light re...
