Pixel math in Siril was used to add narrowband H-alpha (Ha) data to the broadband RGB image.
That is, the pure emission signal can be isolated from the Ha data by subtracting the continuum contribution, allowing Ha to be added to the image without altering the color balance.
As a result, we obtain a large number of nebulae in M 31 that contain hydrogen-alpha.

Улучшенная обработка с помощью применения скрипта Siril HDR_multiscale. Плюс выбраковка исходников.

Использована пиксельная математика в программе Siril для добавления узкополосных данных H-альфа (Ha) в широкополосное RGB изображение. То есть можно изолировать чистый сигнал излучения из данных H...

I was planning to add hydrogen to my M33 using the same method, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet. By the way, the blue band (BB) has shifted toward blue in your version.

Good luck, the method is interesting.
The BB didn't drift away—this is an attempt to make the colors more expressive with warmth and tone.
Thank you.

Outdated method for adding Ha, use PixInsight instead.

You have to reach everything yourself.
Thank you.

How is the pixel math in Siril older than that in PixInsight?

Oh, what an advisor! I opened PixInsight and the hydrogen just added itself, lol.

The sky is full of blue. And the stars are a kind of crimson.

I stretched the signal too much, set the Q too high at the final stage.
But there is a result in any case.
The H_alpha regions are well highlighted.

I think it turned out very expressive.

Thank you, there are certainly shortcomings. But I believe the main goal has been achieved.
