M42 in Hubble Pallet

Got this M42 image last night. In Narrowband about 2hrs integration. Processed in MaximDL and PS using Hubble Pallet i.e. S11 = Red, Ha = Green, O111 = Blue.

Hi John,
Doing narrowband can be a lot of fun - especially using various combinations of the RGB. When I did my first one here, Simon (CarlightExpress) suggested that I put the Ha back into the RGB as a Lum layer. I am just wondering how this would look if you did that on this one.....according to what you said already - this is just SHO. It would be interesting to see HSHO for LRGB.

Thanks Brendan I will try adding the luminance and will also try the other pallets. As you say its fun and its amazing how many false colour combinations can be tried. I suppose the important thing is finding one that brings out most detail and structure.

Good job Bruno

Adding a the HA as a Luminance Layer really helps to bring out the detail without increasing the noise level, I do it on all of my Narrowband images now, currently working on my final parts of 25 hours of narrowband on NGC281, I am posting my 10 Hour RGB one here shortly
