Hi all,

I got suprised by a clear sky last night so thought I would try to gather some color on this for the Ha I shot awhile back.

Couldn't get too much on it because it heads behind my house.

So this is now,
Ha-150 minutes
Lum-50 minutes
Red-26 minutes
Green-24 minutes
Blue-22.5 minutes

I was planning on 30 minutes Blue but had to toss the last sub.



I have several versions to post,if you would let me know which one you think looks better as far as color and such,I've been processing away on and off all day so my eyes feel a bit like this 8O Think I might be color blind right now wink

Taken with my TMB115 at F7 and ST10xme on a 1200gto.
Here's the first smile

Thanks for your opinions,

Jason

That's fabulous.

The first one seems to me to be best. The others seem a bit red biased.

Jason,
Nice images. I wanted to make a judgment before I looked at any other replies. I have to say, I prefer the first image as well.
