Description

Images showing comparison between using only narrowband (Ha, OIII, SII) filters and Quadband + narrowband filters where the QB filter is used in as luminance.

The first image was created with 10x 300sec exposures for each S, H, and O filter for a total integration time of 150min. 
The second image was created with 5x 300sec exposures for each S, H, and O filter in addition to 15x 300sec exposures for the QB filter for the same total acquisition time of 150min.

The image processing flow for each image was as follows:
1. Image stacking using WBPP (only lights, no bias darks for flats)
2. Dynamic crop
3. EZ Soft Strech using the same settings for each channel
4. LRGB combination
