Image from 2022 where I originally had only 9 subs of sulfur I'm starting to clean up.

Its really just my stack with the SHO nebula isolated with starnet, then RGB stars added.  My pixinsight nuke stretch is moved to photoshop under several levels/saturaton edits then flattened with some camera raw noise reduction.   It is really quick and easy for me to swap data in and improve this one with about 5 minutes of processing time as a result so I'll probably increase oxygen then hydrogen.
