Description

My second Hubble palette workflow using the tutorials from Light Vortex Astronomy and some personal touch. The images were taken in tandem with the ones obtained from Monkeyhead nebula, more than a month of data acquisition.

Images were taken from my back-yard, in the suburbs of light-polluted Bucharest. Some were done under full moon, some between clouds while I was nervously checking radar maps for potential incoming rain. In the end, I could not have achieved this result without perseverance and the help from my astronomy club. Cheers!

Special thanks go to my wife - having better artistic taste than me helped during post-processing
