Helix experiment

Even though I have been imaging for years, I've had no experience with colour imaging using Ha luminance until recently.

The processing technique of blending Ha/R at around 80%/20% for both luminance and the R-channel seems to sacrifice a bit of detail when compared to the Ha luminance.

Here is an experiment where a 100% Ha luminance has been combined with the RGB image. While it has a characteristic salmon colour in the fainter regions, I believe this can be overcome by increasing the RGB exposures. Otherwise it doesn't have the pure white stars and overall salmon colour appearance that is usually associated with using a straight Ha luminance.

It is still a work in progress.
