About this image

Not so happy with this image. Separate stacked and calibrated (dark, dark flat and flats) narrowband images very faint (Ha was brightest). I had difficulty obtaining the correct blend of colours and there was quite a lot of noise. Probably need more dithered images, lower sensor temperature, possibly higher gain. Needs improvement. Images processed in Affinity Photo.
