Description

Getting closer to a full moon I wasn't sure how this would turn out. The OIII came out surprisingly strong and overall it came out pretty good. I tried a few different ways to combine the different filters. I ended up just using the RGB for stars, and then my Ha I followed a tutorial from the Night Photons website (I'll link it below). Then for the OIII I tried the same, but I couldn't figure it out, so I just used the NBRGBCombination script to add that in. Then I neutralized the background and did some minor tweaks in curves and a bit of saturation to get my final image.
