Description

This was shot with the dual narrow band ALP-T, which I am liking more and more as I use it.  I've been playing around with different ways to use the dual band  Ha and OIII data to create a synthetic SHO image with moderate success.  This time I did

Red: 50% Ha/50% OIII
Green: Ha
Blue: OIII

Then I played with selective color and color balance in Photoshop.  While it is not scientifically accurate, I do like getting a bit more variety in the colors and this is my favorite synthetic SHO image yet.
