Description

Here is my first go at SHO! I need a lot more Sii and Oiii data, but for a quick run through, I am stoked!

Version A was basically a quick process of all three channels, LF to match them to the darkest of the three, then combine in pixelmath, strict SHO, then LRGB combine with h-alpha clone as a Lum.

Version B- Big thanks to Paddy Gilliland for giving me a pixel math equation to fix the star color. The stars are still not as round/pin point/sharp as I'd like them. But this is much better!

C- Played with some color sliders in PhotoShop.

D- total RP. I can't nail the Hubble/SHO look.

E- I liked the sharpness of D, but no the colors. So I took version C, and re-did LRGB combination and played with the settings until I got a sharper better controlled version of C.

F- Tolga gave me a tip to blend my SHO and HSO, and it worked pretty damn good!
