Description

I used photoshop and combined the Channels. I set the hydrogen alpha to red and 5% gren and I set the oiii to 95% green and 100% blue channel. I used a bpm instead of a master dark. Using this pallette you can see every thing that is black does not emit hydrogen or doubly ionized oxygen, anything white/gray contains both, everything red is hydrogen, and everything greenishblue is doubly ionized oxygen. This was not only the first time I used two different filters on one object but it is also the first time I imaged the same object on 2 different nights. Here is the end result.
