Description

I shot this back in September but could not make it work in PI. I have been studying a lot and decided to try it again.

I don't think it is half bad but I do believe this should be blue-ish. The object was quite low in the western sky when I was acquiring my data so perhaps that has something to do with the lack of blue.

I added some Ha data to try to bring out those hydrogen regions with maybe a small level of success there.

Anyway, comments and/or criticism are welcome... CS!!
