Description

I learned the dynamic range of M27 from the core to the outer detail is high.   The HDR combined with the small target size, especially with a 100mm refractor, made the processing a challenge for me.  I had SII data but didn't include it because it contributed more noise than perceptible signal to the final image.  The final image is HOO with RGB stars.
