Description

Narrow Band version of NGC 7380 w/ RGB stars 'screened' in as the last step.  Acquisition was with my older WO 102 GTF and an ASI2600MM Pro camera.  Filters were all optolong.  Taken over three nights in Aug '21.  This is the second version, but my PixInsight skills have gotten somewhat better over the last year and a half and the availability of the various XTerminators from RCAstro really help a lot.  In this one, BlurX really did a great job both sharpening nonstellar in a starless image (measured the PSFs in the original stars and set the non-Auto PSF size just below the measured value) and then another BlurX was used to correct some Chromatic Abberation (not much) around the corners.

I worked hard to create modifiers to accentuate the oxygen as various blues, and the accentuate SII from Ha, as where SII exists, Ha dominates.
