Description

A look at the iconic Thor's Helmet in HOO with RGB stars.
With the poor weather lately, downloaded this data from Darkmattersastro.com, to give me something to do...
More difficult to process than I anticipated, which was fun.
Definitely had to use the stretching and masking skills a lot more on this one.
Processed in PI, using BXT, SPCC, GHS, NXT, StarX, Bill B's NBnormalization and ModSCNR, Curves, Masks, unsharpmask, HistTransform to name a few tools.


Location: Deep Space Remote – Animas, New Mexico

Thank for looking 
Clear Skies
