Description

This image is a combination of 1 hour 5 minutes of RGB data collected in 2016 with my Canon Digital Rebel XSi (450D) and my Explore Scientific ES80ED and 45 minutes of Ha data collected by iTelescope.com's T14 -a Takahashi FSQ-ED 106mm with FLI MicroLine 11002 Grade 1 Monochrome CCD camera. I used Images Plus to align the calibrated images. I then processed both files in Images Plus and Photoshop CC and then blended them together using the Ha data as a luminance layer in Photoshop CC. The DSLR image was very grainy and much darker red by itself. Adding the Ha made the colors look much more natural to me and gave much more detail while smoothing out the nebula.
