Description

I had some extra time between targets in December and having already done Melotte 15 and the Fish Head, I decided to go for the crook of the heart. I tried to let the dark dust and gas show through so didn't push the contrast too much. I never realized this area was so busy! Used a traditional S/H/O palette but used Hue curves to help tame the green and give some depth to the image with the spectrum of color.

Captured over 12 nights starting in December 2021 (13,19,22,26) and finishing in January 2022 (4-8,10,11,14).
