Description

I've admittedly deployed a fair chunk of artistic licence on some old data here...
  • hoSS palette
  • Ha luminance
  • mono stars
  • mirrored image

I often try different palettes on data but rarely like the results...  The hoSS palette though with its ethereal, moody feel I think complements the delicate structures and diffuse nature of the Elephant's Trunk region.  I've also tried but failed to avoid my usual sledgehammer approach to image processing :p
