Description

The star queen:  She always looks so peaceful sleeping amongst the stars. Acquired over two nights. This image is straight HOO colour mapping. However, I could not get the star colour I wanted and did have SII captured also, so I essentially used SHO stars to enhance star colour.

Title: Eagle Nebula (M16) reprocesses in SHO

Description: The Star queen or Eagle nebula (M16), containing the pillars of creation at its heart, immortalised by Hubble images that captured the imagination. This is a reprocess of my traveller data from 2022 which I then processed in HOO. I have now added sulphur II to make up the Hubble palette. The magenta stars are a byproduct of SHO processing which is easily removed but often left. I like the colour it adds and have left them.
