Description

Second time imaging this, got a result I could be pleased with by doing longer exposures. Flat's were good on this one so I didn't have to use DBE, but I did denoise with NoiseX after mono channel stretching. Light curve stretch after to bring up the colors and saturation just a little bit. I did use color calibration on the stars, and used starnet2 to separate nebulosity stretch from stars. What a great target! Always tough to figure out what color representation to do for SHO... I'll put some variants I considered in the comments.
