Description

Personal note

Looking at other examples of similar objects I wanted to:
  1. get the dark nebula out, preferably in this greyish tone that many dark nebula photos show
  2. get nice colors for the blue-red structure in the bottom right corner
  3. tease ot the red veil running from the top left corner
  4. show the spidery detail in the bright part of the nebula

Despite plenty of exposure time, I came halfway; the features are clearly visible (good), but the nebula is too brownish for my taste and the whole picture is to messy with the colors.  I spent a lot of time with DBE to get nice flat linear frames, but difficult to judge what should be there and what not. It is what it is ;-)
