Description

Shot this one last month but waited to process until I was a little more comfortable processing SHO. I wanted to make a tricolor image rather than the usual bicolor look of Hubble. Ended up making two different SHO images and adjusted their color curves differently before blending them back together using pixel math to make this image.

Description: I wasn't happy with how the stars came out so I re-layered them back in using a different method. I ended up making some tweaks to the nebula colors as well
