This is the colour added to the 2 hours of Halpha. 7 x 15 minutes, dark site, STL11000XCM, FSQ106n, NJP mount good skies but some bushfire smoke about!

One image had a bright satellite trail, one had a bright meteorite, another had a jet through it! So the healing brush in Photoshop was a godsend.

Great view! There certainly is an awful lot to look at in that field.
