Personal NoteAlthough my version of this object seems to come out more blue-ish then other examples on Astrobin, I am happy with the contract between he blue and the brown nebula. In fact, NGC 1555 came out way too green and I had to correct with SCNR, which resulted in this blue tone.
ProcessingChrominance: Gradient removal, Deconvolution, Denoising, background neutralization, image solver, SPCC, GHS for stretching, StarXt, clonestamp to remove large streaks from a star just outside of the FoV, Curves to enhance color and contrast.
Luminance: extracted L* component from SHO, mixed 1/3 high dynamic range, 1/3 sharpened and 1/3 original to create master Lum.
