Description

This is the same data set as my previous image of the Rosette Nebula. I combined the three narrowband channels with Pixinsight to display a more natural look. This time I chose to display a vertical orientation of the nebula, I just couldn't decide and went with the classic look in the first image. Despite having all the data pre-processed it took me a long time to create a palette of my liking.

My first version that is processed in the classic Hubble palette can be found here:
The Rosette Nebula (Hubble Palette).
