An Unnamed Portion of the Veil Complex

We often see the Witches Broom, Pickering's Triangle and the Eastern Veil framed individually or the entire Veil loop. But there are other partss of the Veil complex that I thought might make and interesting composition. Here is one that lies below the Western Veil and due north of the Triangle. I've included an inset to help with orientation.

To help separate structures I shot S, H, and O rather than the more common HOO. But what to do with the SII? I settled on H for red, and O for blue but then a mix of 45% S + 45% O +10% H. This allows the areas where SII is strongest to appear a Yellowish Orange while keeping the Ha dominant areas Red and the OIII areas on the blue side of teal.

I created a synthetic luminance of 40% H, 40% O, and 20% S. My thinking was that this would ensure the SII was represented but rely 80% of the mix on the better SNRs of the OIII and Ha. As I type this I think that was a waste of time because the Luminance inherent in the Color mix I chose would have been about 15% from SII anyway! Oh well...

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
