Description

Bad weather plus a short respite from a very busy teaching/research schedule gave me a chance to finally put together my Hα and RGB data for the Monkey Head Nebula.

Used 30% of R channel from UHC-S RGB image with Hα as R and as L (50% opacity) in this HαRRGB combination. UHC-S RGB data from 21 Jan 2015, Hα data from 1 Jan 2015.
