Description

The data for this HaLRGB image are from the Moana Project (https://erellaz.com/moana/horse-head-nebula/) and consisted of a total of 3.2 hours of R, G, and B as well as 7.6 hours of Ha.  A small amount of the Ha was added to the linear RGB image before color calibration with SPCC using the Crazed Conceptions method (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwuiS8N1A-E).   The Ha was also used along with all the RGB data to create a super luminance, which was used for the LRGB image.   Pixinsight was used for image processing, as was Photoshop.  The latter was used to remove several unsightly star "spikes" across the image.
