M1, Crab Nebula, CCD Ha and DSLR color combination

I'm playing with my old images and I'm amazed by the result now I'm much more familiar with pixinsight compare to 1 year ago. I made a Halpha version of M1 last January with my brand new CCD: it was my first test shot and a start for a new learning curve: monochrome CCD. I made it home in the middle of Abu Dhabi, UAE surrounded by heavy light pollution. Actuallly I have totally forgotten these subframes until I found them while diging in my hard-drive :-). Then I realised that I did make a color version long time ago with my old DSLR: it was in January 2015 with the same telescope. Why not trying to combine the Ha image which looks pretty good with the color one? I decided to give it a try! I went back to the image registration in order align and resize/resample all subframes taking the CCD image as a reference. Then I could combine the Ha and the RGB to make a surprising good HaRGB combination ! :-) It is still noisy because I took the Ha from home in heavy LP (more subs would have been better).

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
