What lies beneath

I have been playing with the new color camera QHY268c for a few weeks now, and am enjoying using it.
the most obvious thing folks do is take a run of images and do their best to process them, color on its own can only do so much.
two images.
first is the stacked color image with a stretch and quick color balance.
second has luminance data blended in from a run of Ha through a (7nm?) Astronomik filter, plus some deconvolution and other stuff.
results are best viewed if you blink them via some imaging program, both pixinsight and photoshop can do this. theres lots of extra information lying beneath that basic color image that a color camera can reveal.

flt132 scope, with a few hours of both color and Ha data, the green channel of the Ha was used to bring down the blown out area of Eta star.
