Description

I was experimenting with the ZWO DuoBand filter that came with my ASI533mc using M42 as the subject.  This is a combination of images: DuoBand (180sec) + RGB (120sec) + RGB (30sec) Stars.  I processed the DuoBand subs separate from the RGB, producing two master images; one DuoBand the other RGB.  I extracted the R,G, and B from the DuoBand before applying the NBRGBCombination process in PI.  Then used Bill Blanshan's technique for adding in the RGB stars (using the 30sec master).
