My final Narrowband Hybrid of M27. RGB was replaced using channel swap (except for a small percentage of green channel) with OIII as Blue, OIII as Green and H-Alpha as Red. No SII used in this version. Then I used H-Alpha and OIII as luminance. Finally I used the stars from the RGB image for natural star color.
