HaLRGB widefield of the 2070 region

[alocky]

I took a few hours worth of L, R and G with the FSQ106 and QSI683 from my dark sky site, then finished off the B and Ha from the burbs of Perth,
LRGB subs were 5 minutes, and there's about an hour's worth on each channel, the Ha subs are 15min and there's 5 of those.
Calibrated, stacked, denoised and combined in Pixinsight.
Hope you like it, and constructive comments welcome. The LRGB with careful colour calibration is at

and the Halpha channel was added to produce
http://www.astrobin.com/67590/
Not sure about these colours, I might fiddle a bit more with the combination process.
Ciao,
Andrew.

i am yet to try any of this but i am envious of your image - looks like lots of detail there

Thanks guys! Although the more I look at it, the more I like the greyscale H-alpha on its own.
Cheers,
Andrew

The Ha sure makes a difference. Do you have a link to that data set on its own?
