Description

This is my RGB data (http://www.astrobin.com/266253/) to which Ole Alexander Ødegaard kindly allowed me to add his Ha data (http://www.astrobin.com/264601/). So, a mix of 6" apo refractor and 12" Newtonean attached to Canon DSLRs. I have posted the data previously but this version is quite different since I used the Ha data as an extra luminosity layer, which sharpened the stars and emphasizes the nebula a bit more.
