Description

The Arizona monsoon has been unrelenting this summer so imaging is becoming a distant memory. Since I'm relatively new to this hobby and still trying to figure things out, practicing with old data is the best I can do until the clouds depart.

Michael Feigenbaum published a beautiful image of SH2-101 using the @Frank Breslawski  "Crazy Formula" for his color palette. I was never that happy with my previous takes on this target so I decided to use this palette on my old data. I really liked the results and found that I did not need to push color adjustments as much as I do using other palettes. Whether I used the palette as intended is up for debate so apologies to Frank in advance if not.
