This is my first narrowband image with the Moravian G3-16200 camera.  I am very pleased with the dynamic range and sensitivity of the camera, especially in OIII.  

Processed in Pixinsight








Same image as above in a more "natural" color palette.  For this image I combined the Ha/OIII/SII in the following manner using PixelMath in Pixinsight:

R= Ha+(0.24*SII)
G= (0.05*Ha)+(0.95*OIII) B= OIII+(0.10*Ha)
