Description

A blend of a HOO and RGB Palette with RGB Stars.

Taken using the Optolong l-eNance filter and processed in two ways to obtain a natural RGB image that the stars were cloned from.  The second image was processed using the Narrowband Normalisation script in PixInsight to create a HOO palette.  The stars were removed from both images and a starless image was blended using the Image Blend script in PixInsight to create a subtle mix of the two pallets.  Finally the RGB stars were added from the RGB natural image to complete the image you see here.

Thanks for looking.
