The blending is very smooth and delivers great contrast.
I can now see what hours of data can deliver. Well done  |
Thanks Geoff

Marc, This was a hard one to figure so it ended up being Ha60%+ L = Lum layer, Ha 50% + Red + SII 100% = Red, OIII 30% + Green = Green, OIII 80% + Blue + Ha 10% = Blue . It was really a lot of fiddling to get it blended then I used the combined RGB stars as a star replacement as all the stars went a funny purple/red colour. I really wonder if it was worth the effort as the Ha,OIII,OIII combination from last year was so similar except for the stars. Interesting exercise though.

I like the orientation and the overall look. Lots of detail in the Great Wall of Ara and plenty of coloured stars

Thanks Mike, Stars have always been my bug bear with NB works and I am very happy with how this worked out. Looking at it again here at work I might lighten it back a bit when I get home. It seems a little dark and dreary. Fun to do but hours of work.
