Hi all,
remarkably after my usual Friday debriefing (
), i was surprised the high cirrus cloud wasn't too bad so picked up some rgb to combine to the Ha channel I already obtained the WE before.
Some pure Ha- RGB combines can be, well, ok. But this was a pain.
And I really wanted to keep the Ha star sizes and the, un cluttered appearance rather than ramping up to the rgb.. purely for ascetics.
A large blue star sitting out of the frame is casting some scattered reflection at the top r/H corner so this is not a gradient if you were wondering...
Did lots of halo removal... which leads me to think the Astronomiks I have are not all they are said to be with halos. Unless I have some reflections happening in the G & B channels.. a pain really!
Still some halos but I think I can live it... spent ages on processing this, but was fun trying many differing techniques..
For a look just hit the 'latest image' thumb on my front page

Been nothing but rain, heat, thunder and lightening.. since(4 seasons in a day here)
Hope you've been able to get out..
All the best
Rich
