Description

I’m still playing around with this, but this is an attempt at HαRRGB combining my 6 Nov 2014 Hα and 17 Nov 2014 RGB data. I just invested in Straton, and there are certainly a lot of fun things you can do with it. For this image I combined Hα without stars with about 50% of the stars added back in with the R channel from the RGB, and I used the same thing for luminance but layered the original RGB on top of that with a layer mask showing just the stars to preserve the original star color. I like this result, but I’m still learning so I might learn to do better.
