Your stars look lovely. Small, tight, not bloated, no nasty halos.

Great work.

Best,

Thanks Mike, I did struggle with the getting the right mix particularly given that there is little OIII to be had. I personally don't lean towards the hubble palette as I found that it made too much green for this image. I played around with variations of the colour palettes posted by Juan on the PI site and came up with one that I thought sort of looked ok. I finished adding that to a straight Ha/SII/OIII mix.Attached is a screen shot of the pixelmath setting that I used. It still came out quite red when I stretched it though.

I am aware that the representation of colours attributable to OIII and SII do not exactly leap out but I couldn't figure out how to promote these much more. You have done a much better job in your Chick and the Bird Bath image.

Thanks for the feedback, its good to have other eyeballs reporting. Helps with the learning process.

For interest as well, I have attached screen shots of the master channels.
