I'm working with a new setup here, so acquistion wasn't as good as it will be in the future.
I'm hoping against hope that the weather holds and I can gather some more narrowband data for this one, but the Ha shown here can stand on its own.

It's been a frustrating summer, with weeks between imaging sessions.
