Horsehead&Flame-HaRGB

I tried several different methods on this blend and I couldnt find one that worked quite right so I mixed a matched a few things that have worked before and I hope I was able to pull it together and the Ha isnt overwhelming.

 

I lost most of the natural look of the RGB but I really didnt want to lose any of the detail from the Ha data , was fun to process thats for sure.

 

18 10min subs ISO 1600 with 6nm Ha filter and 42 5min subs with no filter from a semi dark sky at ISO 1600 stacked in DSS and then adjusted in PS CS2. Canon 500D(Gary Honis modded) being run by Backyard EOS , Orion Atlas mount and the scope is a Orion ED80 with WO FR VII and a 7x40mm finderscope as a guide scope.
