Description

Only around 1hr per colour channel but good signal. Need to add Ha data as Luminance/Red.

Original: RGB

B: Ha

Final: HaRGB

It seems a combination of the optical elements produce those big halos present in the Ha master (most likely coming from an Alnitak reflection pattern). Had a difficult time combining the RGB data with Ha data to avoid keeping those in the final image.

I am particularly happy with the way IC432 turned out since the blue nebulosity does not show at all in the Ha image.
