Description

Used 15 Feb 2013 RGB data and 7 Nov 2014 Hα data to make this composite image. Had some trouble aligning the layers even though I pre-aligned them using Nebulosity. The red channel is 25% from the RGB and 75% from the Hα, and the Luminance came from Hα with 80% opacity. I’m happy with how it turned out, especially given how poor the RGB looks by itself.
