Description

Nband 2 nights

Ha 24 x 300s

OIII 18 x 300s

SII 20 x300s

v1 was pixelmath hubble formula r .5ha + .5sII, g .2ha + .8 OIII, b OIII

v2 - different processing, LRGB with HSOO

v3 (current 'final') back to hubble pixelmath, but I spent more time on each master before integration, and really tried to get it lighter so more of the nebulosity on the perimeter showed up - gorgeous object, I hardly do it justice. I let my star colors get a little too blue, and I'm getting a weird blotchy effect from one of the pixinsight denoise tools, but meh, going to let this rest as is for now until I get more data and I'll revisit. Fun object.

v4 fixed stars - at some point I forgot to apply the star mask and turned most of them blue. I was able to backtrack a bit and reduce it, but still have too much blue in the stars. A bit of ringing on the stars came in at some point too - but meh, good for now though.
