M1HaRGB

Hi all,
I collected some color subs to go with the Ha I shot back in November.I actually shot these on Dec.3rd and have just got around to processing.

Seeing was especially poor so I binned 2x2 for the color.

This is my second attempt at HaRGB,it is much more difficult than I thought to try to get good color!I may have oversaturated this trying to compensate.

I also got just to the upper left of center what I think is an asteroid,not sure yet though as I have not tried much to find out.It was pretty cool to blink the images and watch it's movement.If you happen to know what was in the area on Dec.3rd I would love to know.

Here is the best I have come up with and some details.

About 4 hours of 6Nm ha in 10 minute subs.
10x180s each RGB binned 2x2
CCDStack for calibration,alignment and RGB combine.Photoshop for the HaRGB combine,levels,curves.

Hi Jason,
That looks pretty good. Stars are nice and round and have color. M1 has a lot of detail.
