Description

I've been attempting to find an efficient way to reveal the extended nebulosity in the vicinity of the Heart and Soul nebulae.
This is the best I have come up with so far.
It shows the Ha channel from 5hrs of data taken with a Samyang 135@f2, an ASI2600MC, and an IDAS NBZ filter.

The monochrome data reveal an impression of the full extended 3D nebula structure of which the Heart and Soul are a part; not quite figured out how to process the colour data yet to give the same effect. Particularly impressive is the towering chimney like structure of the supernova remnant HB3 to the upper right of the Heart.
Also pleasing is that the image does a reasonable job of rendering the dark nebula between the Heart and Soul.

Update: HOO image uploaded and mock SHO for comparison
