Description

First try with H-alpha narrowband photography! This is an HaLRGB image of the Elephant Trunk Nebula obtained with 90s exposures and variable number of subs (40 Ha 25 L 5 R 5 G 5 B) using a ZWO ASI 1600mm camera. Not sure how to add the hydrogen alpha channel. If I use the Ha channel to simply replace the R channel the image gets too "red" so I've used one of the "soft" merging methods that Photoshop has and I'm quite happy!
