I was able to get some OIII and SIII exposures last week. The composite color image has H-a mapped to red, OIII mapped to blue and SII used in the green channel. I'm not fully happy with this image, and will be working more with the data. I will need more OIII and SII data to lower the noise.

HI Roland,
Well, I would agree that it could use more data, but overall the details are really nice.
