Horse and Flame, HaRGB, Star 71 and 100D

[StargeezerTim]

I got 42 X 3min RGB subs, iso 400, last night and added it to 90 mins of Ha I captured a couple of weeks ago. Thats 3.5 hrs total. Stacked in DSS and processed in PS. I like the look of this but the colour of the Flame has got lost in the combination somehow...

Edit, did a much better job by blending two versions, thus keeping the RGB stars... Should take more time!

Very nice.  What method did you use to combine the Ha?

This one Carole, I used the option that uses the Ha as luminence. What method do you use? Tim.

Yes that's pretty good.  Did you process the RGB as a separate file first?  This should help to bring out the flame colour as a slightly different colour to the Curtain behind the HH.

Yes, I did. Theres something about adding Ha that messes the colours up a bit. I has another play (flattened image, boosted colours, altered flame a tad), not sure which one I like best!

Edit...I discovered that layering both methods of processing works better and have replaced the image in the first post!

Here is a crop. I have tried to lighten it up a bit as well.
