I've been playing around with narrowband filters and thought I'd post these up.

The first image is HA-HA-x-OIII as L-R-G-B where x is sudo green generated by Astronomy Tools in Photo Shop.

The second is HA-OIII-x as RGB with x again being generated in PS.

If the clouds would part I might be able to shoot another target that doesn't burn out but only managed 3x5minute OIII shots of m42 last night to add to previous HA data through a gap in the clouds.

Both images have had the image overlaps cropped off. It's interesting that mixing it in different ways can produce different amounts of detail.

when doing nb color combine, try using x Ha OIII

More data will help immensely... 5min subs in NB are pretty short.. Aim for 10 minimum (obviously, shooting through clouds, we take what we can get! :) )

Looking good so far.. Just need an SII filter and clear skies! :)

Cheers mate.
