Description

These images of the Orion Nebula were generated using the SHO-AIP script in PixInsight to combine narrowband Ha and OIII images. I started with the HOO palette (Ha = red, OIII=green, OIII=blue) and the result (top left panel) was similar to the HaOIIIRGB version I generated using the NBRGB combination script. The mixing combinations are endless with this script, and the results get pretty wild. I ended up with 10 or so version of the Orion nebula image, and the results reminded me of the Andy Warhol Marilyn Monroe paintings, so I arranged four of my SHO-AIP generated Orion images in a composite with color palettes that mimics the Warhol painting colors. The capabilities of astrophotography processing software really are amazing these days, and a lot of fun to play around with...
