The imaging window opened for the first time this year for me last weekend. With so much moon about, I dashed off to Bintel and picked up a Ha filter.
I am now the proud owner of an hour of Ha data for the Tarantula. I've managed to collect some more RGB and L tonight before Mr Moon showed his face again.
So - now what do I do with it? I have been combining LRGB with a combination of Maxim and Photoshop. I also had a play with the technique of combining Ha and L into a single L frame using the Lighten blend mode on PS. The tutorial at
http://www.mistisoftware.com/astronomy/Process_m8.htm
is very helpful. However, I can't get the colour balance right. Perhaps I don't have enough RGB data - I will see tomorrow when I have a chance to play with it.
In case that is not it, can anyone point me to an online tutorial giving some alternatives for combining Ha with LRGB?
Thanks team
