Description

I used a 50%-50% mix of a straight SHO Hubble palette and the ForraX palette from https://thecoldestnights.com/2020/06/pixinsight-dynamic-narrowband-combinations-with-pixelmath/ to get this result.  I find it gives a very nice blend that avoids the heavy green caused by using the strong Ha signal for the Green color band.  As of now this is using narrow band stars, but if time allows, I will go back and add RGB stars to the image.
