I wanna thank u all for the great words and i am happy that u all like it. I am proud to be a member of this community and i would really love to come to Australia and imaging the heavens from there. I was told that the southern sky is incredible and has many many wonderful object to imaging. Maybe one day in the future!

About the filters and the colors that i have used for synthetic true coloring:
1. Ha(100%) for Lum
2. Ha(100%) + S2(33%) for Red
3. O3(100%) for Green
4. Ha(33%) + O3(100%) for Blue.
