Bubble in HaRGB

Hello,

I had some decent nights recently and was able to gather some RGB subs for the Ha data I posted earlier on this,had use the majority of the 3rd night to gather some fresh darks and bias so I could process the data.Been very hot here lately.

As usual I ended up with several versions and picked two I thought were the best looking to get your opinions on.
I have some focus issues still to work out so it's not quite as sharp as I was hoping for.

I'm not great at combining HaRGB but think these may be reasonably close as far as color goes,what do you think?

Heres some details;

Ha is 24x600s
RGB is 15x420s + 15x60s
I used the shorter RGB subs to help eliminate some of the blooming of the longer exposures.

Taken with my TMB115 at F7 and ST10xme atop the 1200gto,automated with CCDAutopilot4.

Which do you prefer?

Thanks for looking and your opinions!

Jason

Nice Jason.
Hard to tell which one I like best. I like aspects of both, but I think I tend toward the first image a bit - mainly because the stars seem a little less intense.

Oh, I also meant to say - I wish I had your focus issues instead of my focus issues;>). (You seem to have dealt much better with yours.)

Both are nice. I also like the first one better.
