what time do you start imaging?

[iwols]

Hi just a quickie just wondered what was an acceptable time here in the uk to start imaging at the minute?

I start at Nautical Dark, check Clear Outside for times.

I've been imaging in narrowband from 11pm until just before 3am.  Not sure if it would work with broadband though.

Nautical dark for narrowband, astro dark for broadband, clearoutside.com lists the times.

Yep! Ha, OIII and SII.

Unsurprisingly there is a more noticeable difference at the moment in the snr between my Ha 7nm and OIII 3.5nm so the tighter the filter the better.

Off the top of my head the Heart/soul Nebulae and Veil nebula both have very nice Ha signals. Lots more too but they are also in a good position at the moment, at least from my location.
