Cheers Paul. I've done a few Ha+R images along the MilkyWay star clouds to date. Quite addictive area to image as there are features from corner to corner. Appreciate the feedback.

Thanks for sharing,

Thanks Cam. Adding a well balanced RGB layer as lighten mode is the trick to getting the stars back to their normal profile with Ha blends. If you DDP the layer before adding it, you'll get very nice stellar profiles. I tend to boost the saturation on the layer to taste. Any changes to the nebulae is masked. Thanks for your comments.

Thanks all
