I looked critically at my data and found that I have great H-alpha data from 2011 and great RGB data from 2012. I had no luminance which I am now acquiring. I did a very basic test process of my old data with luminance so far just to evaluate the quality of the older data. Even though this was a relatively quick-and-dirty process, I think the image is improved enough (vs previous post) to re-post. It now includes 15hr40m total. This test process contains no deconvolution, multiscale techniques, noise reduction or sharpening. Once I finish acquiring L data (another 2 nights should do it) I will process carefully.
