IC405 Flaming Star Nebula was created by phoenix
2 hours of H alpha but I also have 3 hours of colour data which is not geling well with the H alpha. Any tutorial links for combining H alpha as luminance with RGB?

Kieran,

That's a fabulous luminance frame. One trick is to replace some of the red frames with some of the HA frames, that should make the colour data sit better with the HA luminance.

Cheers Dave. Took 20 minutes of H alpha and combined it with the 1 hour of red. Last night tracking was going so well I could get 20 minute sub frames :shock: .

The first go at the colour.

That's class Kieran!
I've just ordered LRGB filters and a filter wheel so am looking forward to giving colour a try.

I thought the colour was too weak in the nebula so I done a bit of tweaking this afternoon. I think this works a lot better.
