I've been working on this simultaneously with the Heart Nebula NB image, first full HaLRGB image I've ever done and boy is it difficult. I don't feel like the color balance is correct, still learning how to properly combine the RGB, Luminance, and Ha layers. This was about the best I could come up with, any suggestions would be much appreciated.

First full narrowband image I've done, the Heart Nebula and Melotte 15. It's been tricky learning how to properly combine the SHO, still working on stretching and editing the image without blowing out noise. This is a total of 18 hours over the 3 filters and even still it's amazing how much noise there is in the darker areas.
