Thanks Mike. The Ha and S2 emissions here appear similar in BW, but subtly different.
I didn't want to use the usual HST palette, so I've chosen to use a colour palette that aligns then in a colour complimentary manner.
The main difference being the shift of Ha = green to Ha = orange.
Blame it on my inbuilt artistic DNA
Salut!

I like the colour scheme, I just like seeing the universe on fire Mike is correct with the representation... But let it burn muahahaha!
What I REALLY want to know is where these four clear nights in Melbourne were? |
Thanks Colin, I recommend using Cloud Free Nights for predicting those pesky clouds?

As to colours etc, anything goes in Love & Narrowband, depends on the authors intent I guess

It looks a bit like you've combined the H-alpha and SII into a single channel, which has then been mapped to an orange-red.

Thanks M&T, it's a much more detailed region than I originally thought, so much nebulosity to capture.
Ha, S2 & O3 remain in separate channels, but tweaked in PS & NIK to align as S2 = Yellow and Ha = Orange & O3 = Blue, instead of the more traditional HST.
I've commented previously that this NB stuff is pretty subjective, depending on one's intent.
Matts Spore Astrophotography has an interesting take on this with some good examples that are worth looking at ...
