Don't you love NB and artistic license? Nobody says too red, not enough blue... bit more green maybe? Not yet anyway
Glad you like it and thanks.

BTW you did a better job on the stars then I did.
Looking forward for more from you.

Thanks Eddie. I looked long and hard at your version. Actually had it on my desktop while processing as a reference
I tried to mix Sii and Ha yeah. Didn't look too good. My Sii is still very noisy and stars in that channel are still chonky too.
I had to do a star mask and decrease saturation to get rid of most the pink hue. I don't know if it's "ethical" but it sort of worked.

Yep. Guilty as charged.
My Sii channel is not the best. If you really look on the edges there is some misalignment/chromatic abberations as well. Next time I'll do a better job at aligning my subsequent imaging sessions more accurately. The cure for this is a TAK (not an ED80) but that's out of the question. In another life maybe.
