Description

Here's an amusing contrast between narrowband and RGB put together by Charles Ward. What he did here was use his H-alpha as luminance in the region where he had data. He tried to match it up so it goes together with my Nikon D750 shots. Really shows you how muted the star fields are in narrowband! The exposures here were actually longer than the RGB data!

This picture also nicely illustrates just how much BIGGER a full frame DSLR sensor is than his KAF-8300s.
