Cat's Paw/Lobster - Synthetic RGB

Hello all...
First (very quick) attempt at Synthetic RGB imaging on 2 of the most OIII-free objects up there...Cat's Paw and Lobster nebulae!!!!

40D modded, 300mm f4L lens
Astronomik EOS Clip-In Ha and OIII filters

Ha: 8x10mins
OIII: 12x10mins

Processing:
1.Split both Ha and OIII images into component RGB channels.
2.Used Ha(red) channel, OIII(green) and OIII(blue) channels.
3.Merged above files into a new RGB image.
4.Tweaked in PS CS4

Will try more sophisticated methods soon hopefully.

High Res...
