D. Jung:
In all the threads i read on the subject, it seems that ha and sII with mono filters will get poor amount of signal on an osc, giving the fact that only 25% of the sensor will capture it (in the red channel). 
Seems logic, and backed by many threads. Did i miss something ? 

I strongly recommend Raul Hussein script for narrowband processing too, its simple and very efficient.

A single and dual narrowband filter will give you exactly the same signal on the same OSC sensor for Ha/Sii/Oiii if they have the same bandwidth and if you disregard channel mixing.

Using a OSC will not give you 25% of the signal, you will use 25% of the sensor to reconstruct the whole image using the debayer process. This will result in reduced resolution/increased noise compared to using a mono sensor. The signal in those 25% is reduced due to the filter array transmission to 65-80ish% depending on which channel and camera is used.


Thanks for this clearer answer, i lacked the right terms.

I hope not to be deviating a lot from my original question with the following:

if I capture my data with a OSC and let say the L-Ultimate, then perform a WeigthBatchProcessing with separated RGB channels, stretch, blurX, DenoiseX, non linear, stretch unlinked and then LRGB combination to bring all 3 channels together in a SOH I then do a starX and continue processing as needed.

ive been able to bring more blue this way, at least in 2 or 3 different objects but not sure if I’ve been just lucky enough or if this is something that should in theory work most of the time. 

feel free to reply or maybe I could start a new thread to keep things as clean as possible 

attached is my latest attempt at the Crecent Nebula following exactly the workflow above.

Second image is my regular processing of the RGB with the same camera and filter but without splitting channels during processing.

Maybe look at it from a different way. Hydrogen is by far (orders of magnitude) the most abundant element in space. Your struggle to bring out oxygen is not only a filter problem, but a also problem of what's there and what not.

I personally like your 2nd image better, it likely reflects reality a lot better, but that's a matter of taste. For most images I also prefer SHO, which is really a false color representation, but looks much nicer and often adds more depth and contrast.

I want to revive this thread one more time.

I got my hands on the Sii filter, Optolong, I have some data on IC-59 the Ghost of Cassiopeia, about 3.5hrs on Sii and L-Ultimate.

My question is, How do I process it? What would be the best workflow to follow? So far I've done:

STF
Seti Astro Automatic DBE 
SCNR
BExterminator
NoiseExterminator

and that is where I am stuck at the moment…

Any help is much appreciate it.
