Description

This image is in the HOO palette. While I would have liked to use the Ha as a luminance layer, I find it just wrecks the detail of the OIII shell around the Crescent Nebula and makes for a generally unpleasant image. Perhaps someone knows a way around this? Either that, or a good method of taming those blue star halos!

For those who are wondering. Yes, I did boost the Soap Bubble a bit with a radial filter in LightRoom.
