I'm happy with how my mono bat/squid versions have come out - now for the colour combination

Hello my friends, I hope you are well and staying safe! I've been really busy with COVID-19 research and grant deadlines which I got done on Friday. I'm now getting back to my projects--- in addition to finishing up sh2-129/ou4, I also have enough data I think to finish up ic443 I think. With respect to the former, I'm pretty happy with the processing of my narrowfield Ha (37h), S2 (34h), and O3 (which I redid with additional data, so it's now 58h and better) mono, it has that "painting" like look that I like with some depth:

I'm happy to put up the XISF files of either: (1) the currently processed mono frames; (2) the unprocessed mono frames; or (3) both.
It's a total of 131 hours of data, and it's available for one of these challenges you guys do. Please let me know if there is interest in either of these options.

Otherwise I plan to start combining the colours according to the informative tutorials posted by various folk here in the next coming days. This is where things need to improve and I hope the techniques posted by Brad and others produce some good results! Thanks a lot for doing those!

After this I have the WF to do and then ic443 hopefully and that's going to be it for this season for until spring. Can't wait for this pandemic to be over so we can go property shopping in a warm place in the winter...

An impressive amount of data Ram. Looking forward to seeing the results of combining the NB data.

Thanks everyone. Juno, me too! I always display only my Ha data for all my images (now as my first image in AB) but I'm looking to figure out some ways to display all the three sets of data (like with a fading animation that morphs one image into the other) with only mono. I've seen some B&W art people do things like this but the problem is always finding time...

But with the mono, I've spent a lot of time learning techniques from people here and it has paid off IMO. You can actually compare the Squid in the post to above to the Squid on AB:

And the one above has come out better IMO.
