Description

I tried several different processing methods, but ultimately ended up using my standard OSC dual-band filter processing.
  1. ”Normal” processing using Siril
  2. Gathered one hour of RGB (L-Pro filter) to create an HaRGB image. Ultimately, the star colors weren’t much different than what I had with the L-Ultimate filter
  3. Attempted a Hubble palette by using Siril scripts to extract Ha & OIII then using pixel math to combine the images. Since this is mostly Ha, there wasn’t a huge difference between this and option 1.
