Description

I've struggled with this object for years and finally got some good subs. I tried using an L and Ha blend for luminance, but stars got too big and the nebula got washed out. Using the Ha channel turned out best. I didn't need to blend any Ha into the R channel as I sometimes do. My first processed image after a hospital stay for temporary amnesia, and possible concussion and seizure. It took awhile to remember my workflow! 10x300s Ha, 8x200s RGB.
