Description

This image was done as SHO with RGB stars but it turns out there is practically no Sii in this target. I tried various pixel math combinations and finally settled on one that seemed best. It gave me a little more of a rusty red but probably should have pushed it more to the pink given how much Ha there is in this target. I did use a little GHS in processing this image and I think that brought out a little shading differentiation. I strongly recommend  Adam Block"s "Stretch Academy" as that gave me the best instruction on GHS that I have seen anywhere.
