Description

Well as promised here's a true color rendition (HaRGB) of the faint emission nebula Gum 51 (also RCW 105) to compliment the SHO Hubble palette. Not sure which one I like more as they both have merits. On the one hand I do appreciate true color and it tends to be a bit easier to process. On the other hand, SHO Hubble palette allows so much more separation and clarity of the structures within the nebula as well as offering a greater range of colors.
