I'm left wondering what you could achieve if your equipment was located at a better location... ?
Thanks Clive...high praise indeed given your discerning eye.

As for a better location.......I guess I'd spend less time in traffic in the high Chilean desert ...but then again..in H-alpha..even shooting from Pitt Street the sky isn't too shabby.

How about some specifics on how you blended? EG: How did you avoid big diffraction spikes from Alnitak?
Thank you Marcus....to answer your question...only the horsie's core field was captured with the Alluna. The rest was RHA data...hence no spikes from Alnitak.

Nothing overly complex here...I simply used a Gaussian blur on the Alluna layer's edge to blend the two data sets.
