Description

This was my first SHO Image. It was hard for me to find a good balance between the colors and prevent over saturating the image. 

I did this over 3 nights. 

I used the following PixelMath formulas to arrive at this image. If anyone has a better suggestion, I'm all ears as I'm still learning

R = "(0.8*Sii)+(0.2*Ha)"
G = "(0.8*Oiii)+(0.2*Ha)"
B = "Oiii"
