M43 in RGB

[fwm891]

Captured last night using my AA CF RC8, Atik383L+mono, OAG and Baader RGB filter set. 5x600s per channel.

Processing in PI, PS and Straton.

I used PI to calibrate, stack and save 16 bit tiffs of the RGB channels, and channel combine to produce an RGB image. Straton to remove the stars from the RGB grey scales and save as 16 bit tiffs. PS was then used to combine the starless RGB grey scales as an RGB colour image and then add the RGB image created in PI to add to the nebulosity and replace the stars. (At least thats what I set out to do!)

Hope you like
