Description

M16, the Eagle Nebula, processed in the SHO "Hubble Palette" over a couple of nights.

RGB stars were added in by using StarNet 2 to remove stars on the SHO image, and using StarNet 2 to create a stars-only image from RGB data. Starless SHO and RGB stars were then added using PixelMath. This also allowed me to stretch and process the gases and stars independently.

The starless version is pretty cool in itself: https://www.astrobin.com/emw1ja/B/
