Here's my first effort at narrowband imaging Hubble style. There's 2-3hrs per channel of Ha, OIII and SII processed in pixinisght where RGB=SHO.
Scope is a 10"f4.5, filters are 12nm Astronomik, camera is a QSI683 and all on a G11 in my light polluted backyard in Perth.
Thanks to Troy for the magneta removal trick in PI! I like it and it worked for me...

Thanks for looking!

Data looks good, Andrew. The SHO version desperately needs an application of SCNR to get rid of the green (IMHO, of course...)

Thanks Rick - definitely agree with you there!! Although given that it's an HII region I was expecting it to be a bit green - but this is definitely an improvement!

That's an improvement. They don't tell you but nobody does SHO without major colour tweaks!

That's turned out great. :)

Personally, though, I think I'd prefer it the other way around; with the pillars pointing upwards. Just a preference, though. :)

Sweet! Glad the trick worked for you. Looks like you could stretch the R and B even more to balance the colours. The second version much nicer.
