B33_Horsehead_Ha_GB

Komorów

This is my first "Ha Ha G B" image, shot using "on-shot color" CCD camera. The high resolution Ha image replaced both R and L frames. Pixel values (background) for G and B were adjusted manually to match the much lower sky level of Ha frame. All frames were aligned using coregister function.
G and B were processed using DDP and Smart Star Debloat to match dynamic range and star sizes of Ha frame.
A new color frame was synthesized as HaGB. Color balance was adjusted manually. Finally, the Ha was used again as Luminance layer.
Final processing in Photoshop.
