Merry Christmas - a flower for you

[SimmoW (SIMON)]

You can't compare this to Paul's amazing effort, but this means a lot to me, since it's my very first narrowband combination image. 10 by 2 minutes RGB taken lazily in one go with my Sony A7s, together with a whole 12 by 4 (FOUR!) minutes of 12nm Ha filtered data.

All processed in Pixinsight, including the Ha/RGB combining, then further processed in Lightroom/Photoshop, esp to best combine the original RGB image with the Ha/RGB combo.

Thanks for all the friendship and encouragement here in 2014!

Onya Simmo, gee you have come a long way so quickly with your images. Very well done and a very Merry Christmas to you too!

Hi, Simon,

That's a superb result for such a short investment. Lovely shot. More!

Cheers, Mike
