Description

No, you ain't read that wrong. Due to some equipment error/bad transparency, my O3 frames of this target have extremely weak SNR so I settled for an HSS palette. The SII brings out a lot of detail and helps to quiet down the reds. I also did not have the chance to acquire RGB stars so I decided to find an image online of the region that has this color information and apply it to my stars as chrominance. The result is just so-so but I have already spent too much time on this. I think I'll revisit this target someday.
