Description

DreamsPlease Palette:
R=iif(Ha > .15, Ha, (Ha*.8)+(Oiii*.2))
G=iif(Ha > 0.5, 1-(1-Oiii)*(1-(Ha-0.5)), Oiii *(Ha+0.5))
B=iif(Oiii > .1, Oiii, (Ha*.3)+(Oiii*.2))


This is by far my favorite color palette. It keeps the natural look of the deep red H-alpha and the blueish Oiii and adds some yellow highlights to it which make the images even more detailed and interesting.
What I love most about this image is the blue hole on the top of the trunk. It looks like a small portal.

Acquisition details:
Ha: 43x5min (3.5h)
