Description

The Hubble palette colors Sulfur II as red, Hydrogen-alpha as green, and Oxygen III as blue.  The Jellyfish that is rich in Sulfur II shows up yellow with much red and green mixed.  Sh2-229 above it has less sulfur but more Oxygen so comes out as a pleasing teal.
The new star reduction tool in AstroPixelProcessor was used to reduce stars to 40%.
