Description

I'm still trying to figure out this Hubble palette.. This is the Monkey head nebula shot with a light pollution filter and two dual narrowband filters (Ha-Oiii & Sii-Oiii). Stacked and separated into Sii/Ha/Oiii with the Ha-Oiii extract algorithms in AstroPixel Processor then re-combined in straight SHO with cyan removed from green & yellow channels. Finished up with StarTools, Starnet++, Lightroom, & Photoshop.

I think my post-processing needs some deconvolution... Getting close to taking the mono plunge and the Pixinsight plunge.
