Description

I want to thank @Adam Block for his recent videos that showed how to blend Ha with RGB in a natural looking way.  This area has a very dense star field, but when I removed the stars with StarXterminator, I was blown away by the number and variety of galaxies in the background.  So, I worked to bring out the galaxies as well as the dust and hydrogen gas.
