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 🙂

For processing OSC with duoband filter I really like https://youtu.be/5IkmqbilqI0 using Bill Blanshans pixel math get really good results for HOO or SHO.

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!
