Description

There's a lot of cool stuff in this shot...from Raptor 61 at 275mm. I started with SHO, then did a SHO Blend with Pixelmath:
R=  (O^~O)*S + ~(O^~O)*H
G=
((O*H)^~(O*H))*H + ~((O*H)^~(O*H))*O
B=
O
this looked pretty good, but wanted some of the blue oxygen to come out a little more...so blended in a curves adjusted SHO. To bring in the faint hydrogen, I add a super-stretched H and blended all these in photoshop, added in the RGB stars, did some star reduction, but kept M38 a little more prominent.
