Description

Took four nights to image M31 from my yard as a secondary target, thanks to the speed of the Hyperstar.  Shot the first 5.6hrs using the L-Pro to get the broadband data, then 4.63hrs with the Idaz NBZ UHS filter to capture the Ha and OIII.  I combined the two sets of data using the Combine RGB tool in AstroPixelProcessor.  A link to a guide on how to can be found here:
https://www.astropixelprocessor.com/community/tutorials-workflows/combining-r-g-b-with-ha-oiii-data-using-an-optolong-l-enhance-filter/
Although this guide was written for use with the L-Enhance filter, the principal is the same and applies to most narrowband filters, I would think.
