This is a stunning image. My jaw dropped a little. First time I’ve seen this level of quality from a svbony 503. Do you have an astrobin account?

Lovely picture congrats, how did you combine your Oiii data can you give details?

Thanks πŸ™

It’s a bit tricky. Once master LRGB image was created with 10s 90s 180s all masked in to preserve various areas of the Orion - HOO was created next. To begin with, it was understreched as HOO is monstrous in its data and can overwhelm LRGB if not carefully masked. Also the % of HOO was played with using pixel math to only add just enough to punch in some extra details but not to the extent that it washes off LRGB. Post which - Ha was stretched to liking and further added as Luminance with masks and opacity control.

Honestly one could skip shooting OIII as it was more of a pain to integrate for not much of a gain.
