Description

Modified Hubble Palette with RGB stars

Data from 3 narrow band filters

Ha - Hydrogen alpha 656.3nm, deep red in the visible spectrum

Oiii - Oxygen iii 500.7nm, blue/green in the visible spectrum

Sii - Sulphur ii 672.4nm, deeper red in the visible spectrum

was mapped on to Red, Green and Blue channels

Red - Sii

Green - Ha

Blue - Oiii

This resulted in an overwhelmingly green image since the Ha signal predominates.

Green has been transformed to yellow by reducing cyan and magenta from the green channel.

The original RGB image taken in 2016 has been used for star colour.
