Description

Processing Thor’s Helmet was a great experience.  First, this is my second time on this Target, so I wanted to try something different.  Starting with a starless image, I used RGB image as the foundation but loved some of the details from the SII filter. I used a Continuum image of SII and OIII to lightly blend into the red and blue channels respectively.  I decided not to use the HA due to the fact I did not see it bringing in as many unique details as the other continuum images. I also blinded these SII and OIII continuum images, again very lightly and just the highlights, into the luminosity channel. I believe it produced a very aesthetically pleasing photo with a lot of details in the central regions.
