Description

Took the opportunity due to cloudy weather to create a new image from older data sets of two different telescopes.

This Heart Nebula image is an HOO image taken with the SVX80 and 2600MC Pro with an L-eXtreme filter.
I added RGB stars from the TMB130 using the D810 camera from a 2-panel mosaic shot a few years ago in Death Valley CA

previous efforts:

I utilitzed Bill Blanshan's HOONormalization v.5 script to help process the HOO image. 
Also used the DBE, SPCC, GHS, Arcsinh, BlurX, NoiseX and StarX, along with some curve work, advanced sharpening and screened the RGB stars back into the HOO image.

Thanks for looking.
