Hi Adam
I use Astropixel processor.
It allows me to combine my images and also to split the channels when stacking.
The L-extreme filter only allows a narrow band of light from Hydrogen Alpha and Oxygen 3
When using APP I stack them using the channels HA then the channels O3 in the stacking setup.
Then I combine the 2 channels using RGB combine HA being red and O3 in the green and Blue channels, Tweak it, play around save it then process it in Photshop.
In the meantime the HA channel is also used as a luminance layer which brings out the finer details in photoshop.
This processing alone took 2 hours of tweaking to get right as I'm fussy.
