Description

This is a HOO composition of the famous trunk in the sky, captured over two nights. The method used is to extract Ha and Oiii from an OSC camera using a dual narrowband filter. The composition take R=Ha, G= (0.3xHa+0.7xOiii)x1.05 and B=Oiiix1.05. Once the moon will be gone, I may add more exposure time and consider adding RGB stars. 
Enjoy!
