Description

Another one that needs more data, but after a week of solid rain and at least 10 more days on the way decided to post what I have now. Might become a wider mosaic as there's a lot on offer around this.

A different palette for me, more to get some variety than any good reason. It's a Ha rich region so that dominates hence the green dominance here (mapping Ha to green).

Stacked as S, H, and O channels in APP and a basic RGB combine in APP for a TIF Iand then instead of my usual process in Startools I took the APP TIF straight into PS CC. I wanted to preserve stars so used Star exterminator to create a starless layer, then ran a difference to get just stars... did my stretching and processing in PS on the starless layer...trying to get that luminous 3Dish look. Then blended back the stars using "screen" blend mode. I have some guidance on how I might do all this in Startools for similar effect so will be experimenting further with that in fture.
