This is a SHO image, the colors just have been manipulated away from blue/gold to something a little different.
This was one of the toughest images I've had to process, but not due to the usual processing woes, but due to integration. I use an ASIAir and something happened where the settings were lost so my labels were lost for my filter wheel. Like a dummy I didn't actually store the positions anywhere except a post-it note that I had misplaced somewhere. I didn't want to disturb the image train (and it was already time to start shooting when I noticed the missing settings). So I took a guess at which positions the filters were in....I guessed wrong! So I had data that ended up being all jumbled up and had the wrong Filter in the FITS Headers/filenames, etc.
I was able to Blink through and get all of the images sorted by Ha, SII, and OIII. I then renamed the files appropriately. WBPP was able to run and calibrate and register the images, but then I got to Normalize Scale Gradient and it complained about all the Filter values not matching in the files selected.
So I had to manually fix all the Filters using FITSHeader which was a long monotonous task. I just could not figure out a way to do a batch update of the files. If you know how to do this in PixInsight please drop me a comment below so I never have to go through this again!!
On the plus side, I REALLY like the way this came out even after all the headaches.
