Description

Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.

Old: I originally captured this data of the Orion complex last year, but wanted to revisit it.

New: I recently gathered some new RGB images to add better star colours to this new composition

Borrowed: I totally got the idea for this weird palette from an image by Galactic Hunter

Blue: Well, that one's pretty obvious. By pushing the stronger Hydrogen layer into the Blue channel of the image, and then blending in my new RGB layer, I was able to get a much cooler effect.

This was originally shot on my RedCat with a 2600MC and Radian Triad Ultra filter. I extracted separate Ha/Oiii layers in Astro Pixel Processor to be able to do this.

Hope you enjoy it!
