Description

When I see IC1848, I dont think of a Soul, I see the pig of"Pigs on the Wings"  , an album from Pink Floyd, my favourite band *ever* 
Consider this as a small tribute

SHO: 30x30x12 xmn
RGB: 8x8x8 x1mn for stars colours

I missed my planification and I captured some Sii instead of Ha, when I realised my mistake, I tried to recover a little but it was late.
I don't see opportunity to get some more signals so I stick with this.
Hope you like it, I discovered the astonishing work of Bill Blanshan with PIxel Math and I used it to try to improve the integration of stars colours, it allows to improve the luminance parts of the stars at the end, not only the colours.
What I was doing  :
- get the luminance from my SHO composition (with stars; the colour of SHO is done without stars)
- apply this luminance to the RGB acquisition with stars colours
- copy this to the SHO composition with a stars mask that limits the copy to the stars
I am a super rookie user with pixel math compared to Bill ^^ 

It was fun to try to get variation in the colours of the SHO composition

A must if you are a PixInsight user :
