Description

NGC1514 is a planetary nebula in Taurus. Its shape is lobulated, and its central star is unusually bright. It is a binary star that emits two rings of gas visible in the infrared.
To process the image, I added the luminance of the shots obtained with the IDAS and L-Enhance filters. The chrominance was that of the shots obtained with the IDAS filter. I then applied the G+B channels from the L-Enhance shots how OIII channel with PixInsight's NBLRGB script.
