Description

Straight SHO palette, with GHS stretches on individual channels.  The H-alpha channel had two persistent peaks.  I backed off a little on stretching it so as to let the blue OIII clouds come through. 

I tried the normal orientation (head of the pelican looking left), but that gave an odd effect with the brighter nebulosity, inverting the three-dimensional feeling.  Please let me know what you think!
