My first try on combining LRGB data with H-alpha. All data was taken during two following nights. The luminance and halpha data are ok. I need more RGB data because its pretty noisy. I used all kind of software noise reuction algorithms (randomly :D). Finally it looks better than i expected it from the RGB data.
