Wizard HaRGB, Star 71 and 100D

[StargeezerTim]

Well I managed to get 3 hours of Ha last night in 10 min subs at iso 1600. I added them to an earlier RGB image and eventually got a reasonable image. It really does make a difference adding a bit of Ha and its so nice to image in full moon instead of just sitting around cursing it!

 

Here is the Ha version:-

 

 

Edit... Here is the version with RGB at 26,26 and 27. So it should be balanced but I don't know if it looks better or worse!

and so nice to see an RGB version of the wizard for a change.

Is it my uncalibrated monitor or is the sky a tad blue?

You might be right. I thought it might be a bit green. I'll have a fiddle later...

Very nice!

but I agree it is a tad blue, but that should be easily checked by comparing the background brightness of the three channels

I've tried equalizing the channels (see added image in first post) but it looks too brown, red now, or is it my eyes that need calibrating!

[Petergoodhew]

I think that might just be faint nebulosity

[gorann]

Yes, the red in that added image is most likely nebulosity - there is even structure in it. It looks much better to me.

This is using Ha as L, so HaRGB ?  Or something different?

Brilliant. Looks like a wizard falling into some fiery doom

Yes it looks green to me on my Adobe calibrated monitor> Hasta Lavista green or Pixinsight's SVNR should put things right.
