Description

I began this project as an LRGB capture but ended up using all seven filters in my filter wheel! While I gathered enough data to process LRGB, HOO and SHO versions of this target, I didn't like any of them. After a couple of evenings experimenting with PixInsight's PixelMath process, I finally decided on an RGBHaOIII blend which produced better colors for this interesting object.

I hope you enjoy this version.

Feedback is welcome.
