Description

Started out going after IC63 in Hubble palette but had some serious reflection halos and other issues with the Oiii and Sii data. Decided to see what I could do with the Ha data... Mostly to learn a bit more about PixelMath and practice with some other image touch up techniques. Here's the result.

Purely Ha data in this image, but converted to synthetic RGB.

A few areas of the image with obvious posterization and some processing artefacts from where I removed the halo around the central star. Will see what I can do to clear those up later. Have spent enough time on this one today!
