Crescent HaRGB Star 71 and 100D

[StargeezerTim]

I added 30 X 5 min one shot RGB to 24 X 10 min Ha, both 1600 iso. DSS and PS. I used the Ha as luminence using this process:-

https://starizona.com/tutorial/using-an-h-alpha-image-as-a-luminance-channel/

I tried using Ollies method of using lighten blend when adding Ha to the red channel but this method worked out better. Having said that, It is too pinkish for my liking. If anyone has any other ways of adding Ha to one shot colour data, I'm all ears.

Anyone know the name of the object in the bottom right corner? Stellarium doesnt help...

It's a cracking image but I feel it needs to be a tad darker and richer red, loads going on there though.

Thanks Alan, I do find that adding Ha as luminance seems to 'pinken' the image, despite the tutorial claims otherwise!

Does anyone know what the little 'bubble' at the bottom right corner is?

I can't work out what sort of scale this is but the only thing on my C-du-C is SH 2 104, appears to be about the right size too.
