Thanks! My background is in astronomy, so I’ve always had an interest. For tips, I’d start watching YouTube videos for amateur astrophotography. That’s pretty much how I started. Let me know if you have specific questions. I’ll try to help however I can.

I used Pixinsight for mostly everything. I had to process each panel for each filter separately and then put them together, then combine all the filtered combined panels into the false color picture. From there it was a matter of just adjusting the color to my liking. It took about an hour.

A further edit. I think I like this version better. I got rid of some of the weird coloring.

I use a Celestron EdgeHD 800, with a 0.7x reducer. I use a ZWO ASI 2600MM Pro camera with Antlia filters. Bottle 7 skies. Thanks for the compliment!

I took some narrowband images as well, but ended up just using the red master as luminance for detail.
