I added each of the RGB channels of the colour and NB.

I can put the 16bit tiff version of the 8m stack on the web if you want to download it to practise blending colour and NB until the Moon goes away.

Cheers Bert - don't have Registar...I've heard it's the stacking program of choice for many uber-imagers! I align in either ImagesPlus or Nebulosity.

Your blend with the RGB looks good too - don't worry uploading, i have a recent RGB to play with of my own

Thanks Doug

Thanks Doug - it's fun to try something new once in a while...and good to see lots of IISers pushing the envelope re NB imaging too (wish I had a CCD now!!!)

Very nice Doug, looks like a traditional Ha.r.g.b. image I have been playing
around with Ha, O111 images myself although mine seem to have a blue and orange colour bias. Keep them coming very interesting.

Cheers Ken - probably stated this somewhere in the thread but if not here's how I'm processing these...

Ha RED channel = R
OIII GREEN = G
OIII BLUE = B

These are my first attempts, and this blending combination seems to have worked straight off the bat. I hope to experiment with some of the more involved methods soon. For example...

Thanks for the comments/ interest

I see the difference now as I was blending 50% Ha with o111 to create a synthetic green, thanks for the link.
