Default The Hubble Palette and the Amateur Astronomer

Combining images from narrowband filters is often done using the
Hubble tri-colour palette, in which SII, Ha, and OIII are assigned to
R, G, and B, respectively. I took this image in 2006 with 20 minutes
exposure per filter from a remote access observatory in New Mexico.
