Description

Raw frames courtesy of Deep Sky West Remote Observatory in New Mexico, USA. (deepskywest.com) Data obtained with FSQ 106EDXiii / QSI683wsg / Lodestar / Paramount MyT.

Approx 26 hrs total integration (16x1800s O-III, 20x1800s S-II, and 16x1800s H-alpha). The palette is SOO with R = H-II, G = O-III, and B = S-II -- the Canada / France / Hawaii palette for multispectral images.

----------

It seems there is no one best palette for such images. Some features show up better here, e.g., the pillars in the NE sector stand as red highlighted against a yellow background. And other features show up better in the previous SOO pallete, the protruding columns on the E side.
