Description

Experimenting with Bill Blanshan's "HOONormalizationV4" process in Pixinsight.  I also experimented with the wavelet sharpening technique described by Craig Calvert on Youtube.  I am not a huge fan of the Hubble-style color palette in most cases, but I have to say that without Bill's Pixelmath process the Elephant's Trunk would be a lot less interesting.
