Description

Unexpectedly, this target was a tough nut! Pretty small emission nebula with a wide dynamic range.
Even though I had more data in Sii than in Oiii, I planned to only upload the HOO version. The sulfur is pretty dim at the edges, even after 3.5h of integration.
In the end, I could not decide which palette I liked more, so I upload them both.

Hover over the image to reveal the HOO version.

I only mildly adjusted the bright core to reveal some structures, the main idea was to keep the brightness gradient alive.

Since the weather won't cooperate for the forseeable future, I processed what I had.
