Description

The Flaming Star Nebula in an HSB palette - a blend of Ha, SII, and broadband B.

I took the subs for this image in late November of 2017 but at the time I didn't think I had enough data at the time, so I was waiting for more clear nights. The target was gone before that happened, and with the end of year holidays I pushed it to the back of my mind and forgot about it.

The current bad weather had me doing some computer maintenance, archiving old projects, when I noticed the subs and decided to see what I had captured. I thought that this blend worked well with the data - the B channel was much better than the OIII, so I just discarded the OIII. This particular color blend was more appealing to me and seemed to fit the nebula better than the other combinations I tried.
