Description

This was my first bicolor narrowband image, using Ha (36 exposures) as red and OIII (29 exposures) as both blue and green. Final version is smoothed and contrast enhanced using Photoshop actions. It still looks to my eye like there's a vertical color gradient in the image that I don't know how to remove.
