Description

My rendition of the Flaming Star Nebula. I optimized the color pallet for natural looking star colors since the nebula is predominately HA and SII in composition with only a small amount of OIII. Version 1 is the standard Hubble pallet SHO, and version 2 is HSO pallet. I think the latter turned out quite nice.

I shot this using the new Bin 1x1 mode of the 294MM-Pro camera. I think it did a great job. Seeing was average to above average. But I did not apply any sharpening to the image.
