I test of combining Ha from my light polluted home with RGB from a SQM 21 site. Overall the blending wasn't too hard. I think the very cold weather might have started pinching the optics in my SV70T as I saw much more odd artifacts around brighter stars than I normally see. I tried to clean it up some in Photoshop but thought it gives the image some character since that is just one of the things that happens when imaging.
