Description

This was a processing challenge. As usual with colorful scenes it is easy to get carried away with tone corrections. I try to keep a balance between original data and personal vision. Hope it worked OK.

Another challenge is combining Ha data with LRGB as signal intensities vary a lot between different parts of the nebula.

LRGB data was collected during two nights at different dark sites. Narrowband data is taken from my city backyard.
