Description

I did this image in an SHO palette. I wanted to get this in time for Christmas to make a holiday card. 

I also did an hour of RGB with 20 minutes with each filter. I used the RGB files to create a star mask and then use those stars in a starless SHO image. 

This way I was able to get rid of the magenta stars and get a natural look star color for the image. 

Any feedback, good or bad is welcome. I hope everyone likes this image.
