Description: This is with a OSC camera and the Triad Ultra Quad-band narrowband filter which captures SII Ha, OIII, and Hb in red, green and blue channels, respectively. I've used Photoshop to the split the channels after stacking to produce a SII Ha image, a OIII image, and an Hb image. I then recombined the channels into an RGB image in the following way, SIIHa, 0.8*OIII+0.2*SIIHa, 0.5*Hb+0.5*SIIHa in the red, green and blue channels respectively. Not sure what I think... kinda like it I guess.
