Ditching Luminance on low targets?

[ollypenrice]

Any thoughts on this? I was surprized at how useless my luminance was on the Antares region that I shot last week. My co-shooter, Paul, then read up on this and said that people recommend dropping the L layer when aiming through lots of low atmosphere because it just comes out soft and featureless. That is exactly what I found, I must say. Most of my imaging low in the south has been HaRGB or HaO111RGB because the targets are those southern Milky Way nebulae, so I have little experience of low lying lum. Maybe I'll leave it that way.
