Description

I am fascinated by these supernova remnants with their complex patterns of excited gases. Commonly this is processed as HOO, giving the red/blue or red/blue-green images but there is actually quite a lot of SII emission as well, as can be seen here. In this case I pushed the processing and reduced the stars, to emphasize the filaments and regions of colour.
