A weather front has arrived form the pacific Northwest, which means no more imaging for at least three night. So I got tired of waiting and just used the data I had: Exposures so far: - 25 x 30m subs in Ha (5nm) - 20 x 30m subs in OIII (3nm) - 10 x 30m subs in SII (3nm) total exposure time: 27.5 hours. In this rendition, I have mapped SII To Red, Ha to Green and OIII to Blue. I have then extensively tweaked the hue and a/b ratios in L-ab mode to get a yellow/red over blue color scheme.
