Description

Heart Nebula in H-alpha as red, Oxygen III as teal, and Sulfur II as white.  This mixture results in a 'natural' looking result while enhancing nebulosity vs. stars (and background).  Sulfur II is deep red but is often associated with shock fronts.  Allowing it to be white enhances these regions.
