Description

I uploaded two different versions as both are interesting in their own way. The first is an image is mainly a narrowband image with Ha and OIII. This is the first time I've used O-III and it got overwhelmed by Ha/red as I didn't color balance the image well. The second image uses a blend of 40 % Ha in the luminance channel and RGB data from an OSC camera. The Ha/OIII was a 4-panel mosaic using an Atik 460ex. The RGB was a two panel mosaic from an ASI071MC. Ha, 32x500s, OIII 32x500s, RGB 50x200s.
