Richard Crisp did one of these. It is a pretty tough one
to capture, even from florida. This is about 6 hours in each Ha SII and OIII.
the OIII really comes through strong.

That's very nice.

The OIII does indeed look like it is very strong here.
I did a HaRGB of this awhile back,lot's of Ha here too!

It's a tough target,you did a fine job on it,
