Heres is an attempt at mapped colour imaging of planetary nebula MZ3 (the Ant nebula). I used my 850Nm infra red image for the red channel, used the red channel in a separate colour image as green, and the green channel in the same image as blue, so IR= red, red=green, green=blue
I note the central star is the only star in the image to appear yellow. Most others are red due to their brightness in the infrared image.
