Description

First complete SHO project.. Getting an acceptable color balance is pretty challenging. I processed each channel independently, and within each channel I processed the stars and starless separately (StarNet++). I though I would try to to try to control the size of the stars. I was much happier with this compared to processing them together. The main limitation on this image right now is the OIII and SII - I just need more time on both. But I am happy with the progress!
