Description

I more into making a beautiful photo (in my eyes) and don't mind blending different versions of shot to get what I like. Here is an example of 2 blends: SHO and SHOBlend (using the pixelmath expression: R = (Oiii^~Oiii)*Sii + ~(Oiii^~Oiii)*Ha
G = ((Oiii*Ha)^~(Oiii*Ha))*Ha + ~((Oiii*Ha)^~(Oiii*Ha))*Oiii
B = Oiii)
I then blended each of these 2 shots in Photoshop, and added some extra luminance from a stretched hydrogen layer. Some final tweaks in Lightroom.
Horsehead Nebula, Radian 61mm scope, ASI2600M camera, Optolong 3nm filters. 600sec subs, Hx38, Ox26, Sx55. 19hr 50m integration.
