Description

Not much to say about this that I didn't say when I uploaded the RGB version, other than that some targets really hammer home why false color is so important. The differentiation between the wavelengths is so striking and the impact the target has is so much more more dramatic as a result. It took a while for me to warm up to the SHO palette, but I think I'm fully on board with it now (even though I still sometimes prefer bicolor HOO or variations on that theme even when the target is better represented in the SHO palette).

I did process it completely separate from the RGB version, so unfortunately the (very slight) crops don't line up with each other (I usually try to do that when doing separate versions of the same target, but I forgot to this time). Chalk it up to being out of practice.
