Description

How can a circumpolar southern hemisphere object be named after a famous northern hemisphere landmark? ;)

After a summer of 95% continuous cloud cover, and a previous month where we got 1300mm of rain in 2.5 days (thats over 50 inches in the old scale), the skies opened up for 3 nights

Decided to throw it all at this little beauty.  

SHO with RGB stars, and a starless version cause refractor contrast and topaz denoise are cool

Title: HOO - "Realistic" palette

Description: Repro'd the data into a HOO blend, tweaked the colours to try to get sort of close to the actual, and ditched the rgb stars.
