This is the Ha stack for what will be an HaRGB image of the Flaming Star Neb. Currently awaiting a nice moonless night to collect the RGB subs (might be a long wait with our weather...)

I'm trying to create an (Ha)LRGB image of this object but the skies have been... unkind shall we say. I captured 10 Red channel subs and had to scrap 7 of them, only 6 Blue were useable, and no Green at all. But we don't let little things like having no data stop us do we?   So with woefully little Red data, a synthesised Green channel (from Red and Blue) and combining the Ha with the Red channel I got this image. Needless to say I will be adding more subs as and when I can but who knows when the next clear night will be...

The Ha is stunning and I love the framing with that nice 'S' rhythm going on. Good try on the colour but the real thing will be a winner.
