KIC 08462852 in HaRRGB - Tabby's Star

All best images now combined, 2/3 separate data runs here between April and September 2016.

 

Never tried to put Ha data into an image before so the process I've used may be a little sticky and it wasn't very long either!

 

Tabby's star is annotated. Observations for 3 October 2016 submitted as usual to AAVSO R mag 11.7 (non-transformed).
