Thanks, I wouldn't be doing so much hubble work if I had had some new moon time up my sleeve! Hopefully next weekend is kind to me!

My process is just made up as I go along but usually I stack the frames and combine them into a master colour image in maximdl, I then align the HA and this colour image in maxim.
I stretch the colour in PS with preference to the blue and red to make the histogram about the same shape as the green.
I then layer the HA ontop as luminance. The HA usually has some masked high pass filtering done to it, and then it is sharpened using "smart sharpen"
I adjust the saturation of the colour layer to taste and thats it.
