This image combines 2 hrs of 300 second exposures with the ASKAR D2 OSC SII & OIII filter with the ASI2600MC and AT115mm EDT on the Lagoon Nebula with 2 hours of 300 second exposures with the L-Extreme filter and the ASI183MC PRO and the 80mm Meade 6000 APO from three years ago. Images with each filter were processed in APP  and then merged in PS. Based on this I expect to select a few targets with strong Ha, OIII, and SII lines and experiment with extracting and recombining these lines, using the APP tools. Initially it looks like a good way to shoot multi-narrowband targets with an OSC setup in Bortle 7 suburban skies. Your thoughts are most welcome! Thanks.

I updated this using the same data, extracting and recombining the lines with APP. The data produced was good and led to this updated image.
