Cat's Paw nebula in HSORGB

A welcome few clearish nights following the wettest May I can recall gace me the chance for some much needs scope time.

Some further tweaks on my tilt plate and I'm actually starting to feel fairly satisfied with the modest amount of residual star formation in my corners. Mount working like a well tuned clock...ah the joy :-)

I ran up around 15 hours worth of Ha, Sii and Oiii and another nearly 2 hours of RGB.

Stacked and basic combining in APP for colour TIFs of nebula (HSORGB) and stars (RGB) respectively and then processing indivual HSO in Startools to TIF with subsequent blends in PS.

Playing with palettes here...this is more a HSO (mapped to RGB) at it's base... more as I've got a little bored with the old hubble palette and trying new things.

Something I haven't really mastered yet is how to blend in my RGB stars while retaining the strong star colour. I use Star Exterminator to get a starless version of nebula (startools verion) to tweak colour in PS and same for the RGB stars and use difference to extract just the RGB stars which I then apply to the processed starless layer via "screen" or "linear add"... only problem is most star colour seems to be lost in the process... suggestions to overcome this welcome :-)

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
