HaR-RHaGB - NGC2264 with Cone & Fox Nebuales (Pixinsight script)

[roberto_volpi]

Hello.
It's the first time that I try to combine Ha and RGB images through the appropriate Pixinsight script .
I'm quite satisfied of the result, although I think that the colors are not strictly the same of an RGB image.
I capture my images from a sub-urbane location and so is very important for me to have an alternative to narrow band images (SII-Ha-OIII).

I like it, very subtle.

Hi Roberto,

Two things come into my mind when I watch you image:
- It is mirrored left to right. For some reason this is the default alignment of the FIT-format, but you can change it in the settings for the FIT-format.
- The green channel is overly emphasized, shifting the usually very pronounced red-blue hue of this nebula towards brown. I'm pretty sure that this can be fixed easily.

Besides that you accomplished a very nicely processed photo.

(Incidentally I imaged the same object one year ago with almost the same field of view ( see http://www.pbase.com/gbachmayer/image/142584422/original), also a HaRGB composite).

Best regards,
Gerhard
