Description

Here is a different rendering on a familiar target: the Heart Nebula in HOSS Palette.

This is just over 20 hours of 20-minute and 5 minute exposures using both the L-eXtreme and IDAS NB3 filters to extract the Sii, Ha and Oiii components from the OSC images.  These are then combined in the unusual HOSS palette:

// R:     Ha*N+Oiii*(1-N)
// G:     Sii
// B:     Sii

// Symbols:   N=0.5


The tiny planetary nebula, WeBo 1 (PN G135.6+01.0), is clearly visible in this palette towards the top of the image.
