Description

Every time I make an image with Ha, I feel frustrated when I see how the contrast and detail that can be seen in the black and white image, disappear when combined with RGB. In the case of M78 the disappearance of the detail was total, as you can see in the following Ha LRGB image:


M78 Ha-LRGB Bortle 8-9

The color and IFN made the fine detail of the Ha disappear.
With the idea of ​​respecting the Ha image, I made a fusion of only stars and M78 in RGB on the Ha image.
In this way the contrast and detail of the black and white image are maintained.
