Combining luminance data with l-enhance data

[CraigD1986]

Hi All.

I’d like to try combining luminance with dual narrowband data and have chosen the cigar galaxy as a suitable target. I’m using a ZWO ASI533MC pro and have an Astronomik L3 filter and an Optolong L-enhance.

What kind of ratio of data between the two filters should I aim for? More broadband data or more l-enhance?

Do I stack the data sets separately and combine in Pixinsight or do I stack it all together?

TIA

As it's a broadband target it'd make sense to bias the data toward the LRGB, I suspect the Lenhance data will be slightly lacking for a traditional galaxy look.

I don't use pixinsight but I always stack each bandpass of data separately, usually each session individually then stack each related bandpass stack with each other.
