Description

Revisited this one, with all new processing in PI.
HOO image, using the L-Extreme filter on my TMB130 with 2600MC
ABE, BlurX, GHS. then StarX to create  star layer and separate stretch for HOO stars, ModifiedSCNR v5 from Bill and curves.
HOONormalization v5 from Bill Blanshan to help bring out the OIII signal.
Curves and mask work, NoiseX.

2nd Reprocess. used SPCC as well as Bill NBNormalization script for the HOO color balance. Much happier with the results on this version.

earlier effort

Thanks for looking!
