Description

Being quite desparte I started not to long after  full moon using tha Ha filter. 
My original plan was to do one filter for one night ending at Oiii and hopefully a good night and manageable moonlight.

At the end I spent 7 nights as when integrating after 3 I figured it out that it would be good to have more Oiii.
Done that, editing again... hmmm Sii could have a better SNR. So one more night for Sii. Then... well almost no moon could now have more Oiii....

Tried various ways to get to the final image and to my surprise (as normally I prefer the foraxx palette)  the "standard SHO palette" turned out great.
Also tried out the "power law" strech type in GHS and for me it worked even better than my usual "GHS" approach.
Nebula - SHO palette
Stars - Foraxx
