Description

From the Moana project at https://erellaz.com/moana/open-datasets/bat-nebula/. Please see the link if you want to know the specifics of the integration time, filters, etc. 

For this image I chose to have some fun. I have created this in an Oxygen III-Silicon II-Hydrogen Alpha palette. I had considered other renderings including just enhancing the regular RGB but wanted to try something more unique for me. So I started with trying all sorts of combinations but ended up sticking with OSH as I liked the look of it the best and fits more, to me, a bat theme. So I processed this with GHS and replaced the stars with RGB stars.
