NGC 7822 - Question Mark Nebula

This may be as much as I'm going to do for now. I have added a significant amount of broadband capture time to this, but it has only added to the blue channel, plus RGB stars. I still need to learn how to do a true HaRGB combination, though I'm not sure that this is the best target to do so given the poor quality of my skies, which leads to suboptimal BB data on dimmer targets.

This was my first time imaging with a Dual NB filter (SV220, Dual NB Ha/OIII) and I'm still learning how to combine different channels into a final image. This is some weird Ha\Oiii\B combination with broadband stars.

Also, thanks for sharing all the details.
