Description

6 hours of RGB and 1 hour of Ha per panel, for a total of 28 hours of integration.

This was seriously one of the toughest processes I've ever done (I know.. I keep saying that with every image). But balancing the color and the background after adding Ha to RGB in a mosaic is really tricky!

Another challenge was flattening the background with DBE but trying to conserve any IFN signal in the background. DBE just crushes it and completely distorts it, so it requires a lot of delicacy in application.

As always critiques are greatly appreciated (it's the best way to learn!)
