Enjoy the composition of this target Marcus. The Ha RGB blend takes practice...certainly to get the deep reds coming through, but in a subtle manner. You could always relayer a basic LRGB or even RGB over the top as PS colour blend mode to manage the star colours. I perceive two items with this image that don't appear right IMO. The Ha in the Ha+R blend is too high. The R channel dominates the histogram. Secondly, I sense this image is lacking resolution from the Ha data. The primary knots of nebulosity are not as pronounced as I would expect from the TOA-150. You'll probably find that a Ha+L blend isn't necessary as the luminance will stand on its own accord as another luminance layer in PS - just alter the opacity to bring the stellar profiles back to match the RGB. That's all the luminance is good if you're blending Ha. You may also find it easier to blend the Ha with a well weighted LRGB. There are many methods to this madness, all delivering a different result. These comments aside, I'm very impressed by FOV with the reducer. Thanks for sharing.
