Spectacular colours in this image!
How much of these colours are apparent in your final image before processing?

Cheers,

Hi Justin, thanks. Colors were already well defined in the original RGB, clearly I processed in a way to boost them, in particular on stars. The beauty of NGC3532 is the presence of several white/blue and yellow stars in the cluster and this makes it very nice. Ha color was boosted consistently by the addition of the narrowband image, having Ha (and OIII) taken with the specific filters and added to a RGB base has the great advantage to add a lot of evidence to those nebulosities without affecting the size of the stars If you interested to see the only RGB simply stretched I can send it in your mail

Clear skies
