Description

I cannot avoid seeing it more as a Super Master-Brain controlling the Bubble.... but who am I to change its name.... 

Nice capturing time (back in summer 2021) in nice nights,  I decided to try a biband (H and OIII) combined with RGB stars... 

For the processing, I first processed a RGB image and extracted stars (Starnet V2) for later use. The I combined the RGB image (with stars) with H-alpha and OIII to enhance RGB channels with an HOO approach. After this, once again Starnet V2 to remove stars (they werent very off actually, but the initial RGB ones were better), did some contrast and color enhancing and then combination with the initial set of RGB stars). 

Happy with the result and the resulting detail of the crescent with the outer shell of Oiii and the definition of the Bubble and the surrounding nebulosity. 

Image has passed the "wife test" but nevertheless if you find room for improvement I will be happy to read it!
