IC1396 - First full LRGB Project with new setup - Now with added Ha

[AMcD]

I have been experimenting with adding Ha to my LRGB imaging of IC396, using the method whereby the red signal is removed from the Ha image using Pixelmath prior to combining the Ha with the red channel ahead of building the LRGB image.  This image comprises approximately 16 hours comprising 4 hours each of LRGB, and 6 hours of Ha taken with my QHY268M attached to my TS Optics130 Triplet APO mounted on a Losmandy G11.  I am not sure what the Ha has added to the image really but include the original LRGB for comparison.  I think I prefer the LRGB to the LR(Ha)GB as more natural looking.  I am at present doing a project on small nebula (the Pacman Nebula and Lower's Nebula), so will try and refine this method on those images.

LR(Ha)GB:
