I spent a lot of time on this image trying to figure out how to incorporate Ha and OIII data into the RGB so as to keep the basic RGB color palette while increasing the contrast and structural enhancements of the Ha and OIII. In a nutshell, I created an HaRGB with Ha as luminance, and then enhanced the B and G channels with the OIII.
