Description

This one was a fun challenge. I planned on more SII data but ran out of clear nights so the SHO palette is a bit thin on SII.  Tried HOO but still preferred the SHO.  Used the RGB for stars only.  It's a low contrast target with very dominant Ha.  For me, it was a difficult target.  At his FL It needs a lot of integration, especially in OIII and SII.  Also,  it was time consuming to process.  If I try it again, I'll probably go with a wide field fast refractor.
