Ha plus DSLR

[Tandum]

Has anyone tried adding Ha data to DSLR data?

I have a Ha filter in the mail I hope, and was hoping to combine it's images with DSLR images to get a result. I'm thinking you can split the DSLR image into R,G,B and use the Ha channel as you would with a ccd. :shrug:

Robin,
I am the least qualified here when it comes to processing, but have added a splash of Ha to an RGB, and called it the "L", so it is an Ha/RGB?
Mine is not exactly a DSLR but is close (QHY8).
Give it a go, can't hurt.

Cheers Gary, thats what I'm looking to do.
I'll google some guides on how to do it.

Hi Robin,
thought a few others would have jumped in as well. From memory I used the Ha as the "L" channel, using Maxim to combine the RGB and Ha.

IISAC camp is this week-end, a lot of people will be there. Had a fiddle with maxim last night and can split the RGB image easy. Also found this (http://www.robgendlerastropics.com/HARGB.html) in my favourites from last time I looked into it. Just need the filter and some fine weather to check it out :)

Cool, then you are onto it. The Gendler essay was one of my starting points as well IIRC.
Just give it a go, it isn't as difficult as you would imagine.
