Hi PI community, this is my first image processed with the software since attaining my license. Its 10.5 hours shot with a Altair Astro 115EDT and both a Canon 1100D and a 600Da. I've tried to keep it looking as natural as possible which i find is much easier to do in PI, one of the things i love about it. I'm starting to get to grips with how everything works and am actually enjoying processing again!

With my 10.5 hours RGB, i collaborated with another imager who supplied another 10 hours Ha. Unfortunately it was my first time working with Ha and i didnt find out it should be added at the start of the process until i had finished the image! I have to admit that with my limited understanding of PI i couldnt find a way to add the data to the non-linear image so i had to move over to another piece of software to do that. But i will stick to the rules and only post the RGB image unless given permission to do otherwise :)

Nicely done.
You can add Ha data to finished RGB using pixel math or by using scripts like NBRGBCombination or HaRGBCombination.
