Description

Here is my 3rd version of this target. The 1st one uses data from LPS-V4 filter with narrow red band (Ha) and broad G&B band. It has high contrast due to narrow red band (Ha) signal. But the star color is a little lifeless. My 2nd trial was stacking subframes from V4 and SkyGlow filter with equal weighting. Interestingly, it does not improve the image much.

In this version, I extracted each channel from both V4 and SG data and mixed them with some weighting to reach the optimized SNR. It did give much better results with quite natural color looking.
