Description

I shot LRGB+Ha and blended the Ha with R, before building the colour image. I tried layering the 2 hours of L data that I'd captured, but the result was far worse with than without it, so this is an HaRGB image. I think I'm doing something wrong with the L layering in ImagesPlus, so I'll go back to some tutorials and maybe also try using PS for that step.

Vers B - Used PS to run HLVG to remove slight green caste, plus applied lighten and conrast boosts to the nebula
