Description

The M16 region with blended SHO and LRGB color palette. This image was captured between May and July of 2023 from Sierra Remote Observatories. I intended to create a SHO image with RGB stars, but after seeing the quality of the LRGB data, I decided to blend a little of it into the narrowband data. The starless image is roughly 80% narrowband and 20% LRGB. The blending of the LRGB data improved the detail and gave the colors more depth.
