I thought mine was nice from the Southern California desert.

How did you get a California Nebula from all the way in Poland, dude?

Your Ha adds a lot.

I also like what the Ha added as far as contrast and detail. Can you tell us more about the new processing? I am still trying to figure out the "best" way to combine those. But maybe that depends on the object.
