M16 Hubble Palette

This is a mixed focal length image of M16, the Eagle Nebula combining my Ha data as a luminance layer with Tricolor narrowband data graciously provided by Tolga Gumusayak. The starfield was from a bicolor combine which tends to result in more "natural" appearing stars than the tricolor which tends to have magenta halos.
