Ah that is seriously nice dude. I love the colour. The FOV is really awesome too. Gives the nebula perspective.
So far as the stars are concerned, I think the Ha is going to give you a weaker signal so stars will be less bloated than with straight RGB. If I catch you online later, I might have an idea. Too complicated to spam here with.

Thanks. I've collected about 2 1/2 hours of Ha on this to. I used the Starizona method but found the stars were bright in the middle (from the Ha) and lighter on the outside (from RGB). I'm sure I'm not doing something right. Anyway I'm glad how this turned out and I'll keep plugging away with processing the HaRGB version and will post if I come up with anything.

Nice, all fits together well. Good work on that faint side, not easy. Marc
