Do you want my Ha data? I did a very quick combine in CCDStack with the luminance data, basically just added the two combined images together, I'm sure there's a better way to go about this. I might try a layering technique over the galaxy and a lighten combine in PS, waddya reckon?
Cheers
Stuart
P.S. please ignore the larger version question, how do you do a strikethrough character in this??

Thanks Stuart, I have my observatory located about 90km from Adelaide. The skies there are very dark. Last weekend I registered 22.06 on my SQM, then another couple of readings at 21.78. 21.96 depending on where I pointed in the sky. That affords me the luxury of 30 minute subs. This year I went fully automated so I can image from home in Adelaide. Such a god send and I get heaps of sleep now as opposed to be before.
I think if you use pixel math in MaximDL you can combine the Lum and Ha data really well. Jase is always talking about doing this. I may just have to try getting some Ha for it. That will have to wait for me to change the Astrodons. Maybe tomorrow. Thanks for the offer of the Ha, I think I will get it myself though. That is very nice of you to offer .
