      Description

      IC1396A Elephant's Trunk in SHO

      My first SHO (aka Hubble) palette try. Imaged almost a year ago during moon nights in narrowband filters.

      Main workflow steps:

      - separate noise reduction for Sii, Ha, Oiii integrations in PI (using Jon Rista approach, see details)

      - applying LinearFit to Oiii and channel combination into SHO, HistogramTransformation

      - using Rick Stivenson ColorMask script to remove magenta tint, reduce green, boost cyan, ephasize yellow (see more info here)

      - some other postprocessing in PI (local contrast, additional noise reduction, etc)
