Description

I finally managed to get some additional OIII data for this target. Although i collected 10 hours of data, the signal is still pretty weak.

Ha and OIII data was combined using the following pixelmath expressions:

R: iif(Ha > .15, Ha, (Ha*0.8)+(OIII*0.2))

G: iif(Ha > 0.5, 1-(1-OIII)*(1-(Ha-0.5)), OIII *(Ha+0.5))

B: iif(OIII > .1, OIII, (Ha*0.3)+(OIII*0.2))

Processing was done by switching between PixInsight, Photoshop, Starnet, APP and Lightroom. Glad to have those power tools on hand.

Merry Christmas to all and a happy New Year!!!
