You can image just fine from a red zone, trick is to keep the exposures short and shoot many of them to reach the same SNR as a longer exposure. The more SNR you get the more you can stretch in post processing. I use a ClipIn CLS filter all of the time but narrowband would be nice, its on my radar someday.
