Description

Three clear nights on NGC 281 in RGB and Narrow Bands H, O, S.  I used the Oxygen image to boost the natural blue in the nebula's central regions and created a synthetic luminance out of the integrated narrow band data.  Interesting thing about that was two different weighting methods led to the oxygen image being more heavily weighted than hydrogen.

Title: NGC 281 in RGB w/ NB SynLum CDK 14 v/2

Description: Simply did a semi-subtle enhancement of colors w/ the color saturation tool in PI... Not sure I like it better... it was more subtle and 'nebulous' before... but thought I'd try...
