      This was a challenging dataset to process. In Pixinsight, I combined the exposures for each channel using HDR Composition, added Ha to RGB using Continuum Subtraction, color correction using Lightroom and Photoshop and finally added Luminance to the RGB using Bill Blanshan’s Add Luminance to RGB Scriptlet.
