Description

I am not quite finished with this image, but I decided to post anyway. I hae not yet collected luminance and the blue channel was very noisy as the night was poor when I collected it. I decided to use the red channel as a luminance to see if I could smooth out the noise. It seemed to work OK. I added the Ha to the red channel as usual. The foreground of this image should have Milky Way structure as the galaxy is "hidden" per its appellation...but my data does not yet have the ability to render these subtleties --so I flattened the background to exemplify the galaxy, making sure that the black point was set appropriately (.1,.1,.1) in Pixinsight. It has darkened a bit (.08, .08, .08).

For version T I used my friend Rick Kunt's 7 hour red stack captured with his 12" Planewane CDK that I inserted as a luminance into my image. then I blended that with my original 50-50. More data to come

Versions after X include 6 hours of lum--so an L(Ha) R(Ha) GB image
