    Is the [OIII] filter really doing anything for you? I think it’s really only showing continuum, in which case you’d be better served with a wider bandpass.

      No not for this target. As I use a dual narrowband filter I‘ll always get OIII as well, but as you said in this case it just shows the normal continuum. I shot this data to combine it with RGB in the future, but I liked how M31 looks with just narrowband so I wanted to share anyway.

        Oh, a dual narrowband filter in front of an RGB sensor. Oh, that makes sense.
