Description

The data for this HOO image are from Astrophoto YGK (https://www.astrophotoygk.com/astroshare), which provided Ha and OIII masters (11 hours of total exposure). See the cited website for information on the imaging system. Pixinsight was used for processing, with minor adjustments in Photoshop. If you know where to look, the Soap Bubble nebula can be seen in the full-resolution image.   The image shown here is 50% of the size of the original.  It was reduced in size early on to reduce the time needed for processing.
