Note I have loaded a much larger image on my site.
Not sure if there are any rules Graeme. Could be though.
The trouble with this image is that the LRGB has virtually no nebulosity at all. I was surprised at how little it does contain. There is some faint stuff in the red and some very faint stuff in the blue and that is it. Probably not an image for LRGB.
Perhaps you are right about wasting sky time at Clayton but I am planning much bigger targets which have a full spectrum of imaging opportunity.
Yes the blue does present as being reflection but I think with narrowband you cannot use the same interpretive ideas as in LRGB. Ken Crawford used this very same colour palette and came to a similar look that I did. Albeit very differently no doubt. I guess it boils down to dealers choice as Mr Ward would say. In any event it was a tough object and I learnt a few more tricks in processing.
