Description

Definitely one of those projects that has taken longer than it should've!
This is 10 hours of HOO data (5 hrs in Ha and 5 in Oiii) collected over multiple nights. This is one target I seem to keep coming back to given how bright and dynamic it is with good emissions and dark dusty clouds that tell a foreboding story.
The goal here was to use lighter colours and bring out as much detail. The Ha layer was buttery smooth and used as luminosity layer as well.
The framing was quite tight with the 1600GT to be able to fit in the "EGG" and incorporate as much surrounding nebulosity.
Now to hope that the Sii is as good and it should make for a great final SHO version.
