Narrowband and broadband data combination techniques are very powerful and controllable if they are implemented when the data are linear. This example shows the results achieved in PixInsight with an M51 image acquired through the 1.23 meter Zeiss telescope at Calar Alto Observatory.
Mouseover: Broadband RGB image of M51.
Mouseout: Broadband data of M51 combined with H-alpha data enhanced ×4.
