Description

This is the Ha data from an earlier image combined with about 1.5x as much S2.

I had originally intended to capture the O3 first but from my location just outside of London it disappears into the skyglow and I've struggled to get anything worthwhile so this is a synthetic green bicolour image using R: Ha, G: 1.5*(Ha*S2), B: S2
