Description

My first HaLRGB image.  Image is about a 50% crop of the 6200 FOV which is pushing the limits of a 140 mm aperture. Happy to have captured (albeit very faintly) at least one of the Ha jets with just 2.5 hours of Ha imaging time--the Ha was blended in the Red channel at 70% and then color calibrated with the double SPCC technique.   Sky background is clipped because of the BlurXterminator's artefact creating a spike of pixels to the left of the stretched histogram which  has to be clipped off.  This is despite trying to add a 100 ADU pedestal in WBPP and trying NoiseXterminator before BlurXterminator.  Not sure how to fix this artefact.
