Description

I have tried this region in the past using only RGB. It is a region very very rich in Ha, so with RGB only it was just RED..... There are also so many stars in this region that it was hard to bring out the contrast of the nebula. Finally smashed it out using Ha and OIII NB filters. Stoked with the result for now. Enjoy. 

This represents a total of approximately 16Hrs imaging: 3Hrs RGB for the stars and the underlying colour and then 6Hrs of both Ha and OIII.

Description: Never was happy with the RGB/Ha/OIII/Lum version, it did not do the fantastic data I had on this subject justice. Did a bit of a regig this am with the SHO pallate using an artificial SIII from my RGB data. Much happier with this version. Damn - need to get an SII filter. Had really good Ha and OIII data for this subject.

Description: Back to the RGB version boosted with Ha and OIII. Much happier this time with the RGB rendition. I do like the SHO Hubble Palette though.
