    M83 in LRGB

    This was my second time doing an LRGB combination in APP. I find it does a better job maintaining good color balance while not allowing the Lum layer to overpower the RGB. For my next Telescope Live Tutorial I may showcase how I processed this image. Let me know if you'd be interested in something like that. I then finished in photoshop.
