Description: This version includes RGB data. Rather than use one of the several star blending techniques available to the add the RGB data, I simply integrated 3.3 hours of L-enhance bi-color data with 1.0 hours of RGB data. The star color is greatly improved and the dark nebula areas are more visible without the need for severe stretching. This is certainly an easy way to do it. Any comments?
