Some 300s subs should be about right...

Thanks Rob. Yeah 15min is a bit too much for the core. I already went as low as I could with the shadow highlight tool in PS before turning grey.
I won't say it .... but I'm thinking it
Good excuse to go back on boxing day.

Have a look at it now it is red and you'll see quite a bit of general red noisy background as Ha must be fairly dominate in thin amounts in some of these objects.
I run Noise Ninja on it and then move the black point across a bit to knock out this noisy red background to give a cleaner blend of the Ha.
You could alternatively run the noise filter in PS then push the black point over to suit to clean it up a bit.
This will further hide your already almost unnoticeable transition point.

Cool. Glad you liked it. Thanks for the tip Greg. I'll have to try that. First time I blended Ha in PS. Later I noticed I could do it CCD Stack as well and place it as a luminance channel but I had no control over the blending. I'll play with it anyway.
