Description

I've always wondered what the story is behind this forlorn Wizard falling through space. What caused his downfall? Maybe he attempted to ride the great Pegasus above him and was bucked off. There should be a narrative behind it all!

I've imaged the Wizard before but wasn't quite satisfied with my results so I decided to give it another go. I chose a different color palette than I typically use. I tried to express the Ha with a natural deep red, and the SII with a orange. I'm quite pleased with the amount of interstellar medium I could bring out. This is about 40 hours of SHO data. Comments and critiques are very welcome! If you're interested in any details of my process strategy I'm happy to share.
