Thank you Greg for this opportunity to process this data. My approach was to remove the stars from the HOO data and work on the nebula regions, then add RGB stars and luminance. I opted to de-emphasize the background nebulosity and stars to make the pencil nebula the star of the show. The greatest challenge for me was bring out the details in the Oiii and Ha data that was specific to the nebula.
