Thanks Marcus. 10 minute subs and 60 seconds RGB core shot and 90 seconds luminance in the core. There's no Ha.
Perhaps reduce detail by being less harsh is not the best way to say it more less high contrast that shows up the various details in the tendrils of the gas filaments.
Various layerings but the main one of course is to blend in the core shot into the long exposure
using gaussian blur and masks.

Greg.
