Is there a way to combine Ha with LRGB in Astroart? eg Ha + L or Ha + R. Or is this best done in another software program? Thanks. You can experiment with combining Ha with LRGB using the Color drop down menu and/or the Arithmetic menu in the free Astroart 9 demo: https://www.msb-astroart.com/down_...

Remember to click on the Dithering check box I added: Guider.MoveReference Pause(3) Pause(3) gives the...
