Description

I processed this many times and finally settled on some version of a Hubble palette with an addition of a partially stretched RGB for color and Ha for luminance.   The overwhelming contribution was from Ha, S, and R, so the integration time includes a lot of weakly contributing subs from O, G, and B.  The star shapes on the edges and corners were a struggle because I'm still experimenting to find the optimal back-focus distance and tilt for the LCL-1069, evidently it's more sensitive than I thought.
