If you were to give away the trade secrets how did you process this? you can tell me - no one is watching
Optimize twin h-alpha etalons for exposure (ie whatever central band looks good for the day)

Optimize Lucam camera settings to get peaks at about 97% and adjust gamma to show good contrast with shadow detail.

15x fields of 600 frames, 12 bit frames @ FL of 2200mm with 0.5A Filter

Use .AVI stack to align, stack and pre-process frames.

Assemble mosaic in PS 6.0

Mask and Layer disk and prom details.

Convert prom layer to pure red, saturation 50%. Same with disk layer, but orange red.

Flatten layers.... and garnish with PS 6.0
