Description

I loved how subtly different the hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur are distributed in the nebula, so I decided to keep it mostly RGB to show off the complexity.

I removed the stars, stretched the images quite extensively, and did a strong high pass filter to bring out the most of the nebula.  I then combined them using Annie's Astro Actions, then did the same for the base images to add in the stars.

I over-processed it as I was more interested in the elemental distribution than a pretty picture, so while it may not be a wall-hanger, I think it's pretty cool just to see how the gases interact.
