Nice Chris, how many subs etc? Did you take any the weekend?

I did this last week, but only 6x600, planning on adding to it, have not posted it.

Hi,

Back from the land of the sheep.

Fay the image was 6x600sec Ha then 6x240sec Red and Blue filters.

I processed and aligned then in AIP, then brought the FITS into Photoshop I did an RGB with Ha being the red.

Couple of tips, I applied a Median filters to the RGB so the noise was reduced.  Other than that not a lot else, on my large monitor I prefer less colour and more Ha, but thats me, I thought I'd put these colours up because I like the blue stars :-)

Chris

Thanks Chris.  I rather like the enhanced star colour too, it's not very natural but makes a great image.

Fay,

I have added the Ha properly so you can see the clouds
