Description

The Flaming Star in Hubble Palette

This large and bright nebula is very strong in hydrogen alpha emissions, and that channel is more often processed in red. But as a test on a color theme, SHO was selected here. IC405 also has significant data in the SII band length but was found to be very weak in OIII. I will probably also reprocess a second time in the standard HOS just for comparison.
