Description:
Another revision. I wasn't satisfied with revision C - I think it had too much saturation, and the color balance was less than ideal. I re-processed this version from the start, including the stacking method that was now performed in PI. The Rosette was deceptively difficult to process - it seems hard to get an image that it's anything more than a red blob!
I think this version is has more subtle colors. It's less stretched, but I think it's for the benfit of the presentation. Also, I could bring out more of the purple core - which is essentially Ha + OIII.

Title: HOO pallete revision!
Description: Another (after too many iterations!) take on the same data. This time, I enhanced the OIII region with channel combination at the start, and after stretching, a lot of curves to get the center part with the correct color. The process of adding the stars back was also changed, as a simple sum in PixelMath was giving me wonky stars in the center.

Title: Revision 07-08-2022
Description: A complete rework - this time, I stretched the synthetic OIII channel separately from the Ha and combined them in a simple pixelmath equation. Also, NoiseXterminator was used to control the noise.

Description: Reworked the image from scratch, using new tools from the past 2 years (BXT, NXT, SXT, NBnormalization). I must say, the results are much better than I expected!
