About this image

It was a beautiful night, zero cloud, limiting visual magnitude of 4.6 (in South East London!)
This was my first outing with narrowband filters, and the result is my first ever attempt at processing narrowband images - I'm sure they could be processed better but I'm happy with the result, I may come back to this another day but I had an itch to scratch to see what my first ever narrowband images would come out like.

No werewolves in sight, I'm beginning to think they only exist in my imagination...
