Description

While technically using the HOO color palette, I mapped both the SII and the Ha to the red channel, so maybe S/HOO? I love all the faint wispies behind the horse head: reminds me of a waterfall. I'll evenually add RGB data to this to get the stars accurate, as well as draw out NGC 2023 a bit better. I was pleasantly surprised that Alnitak barely affected the left most portion of this image, which I guess is the advantage of imaging in narrowband!

Description: True HOO (so no SII data) with a slight contrast bump. Can't decide which I like better!
