Title: Starless

Description: This version used rc-astro's starXterminator on the final stretched image (the tool is meant to be used on linear data, so it has done a remarkable job of removing the stars).

While I prefer the starry version for providing context for the nebula's illumination, I do think this one helps reveal the nebula's structure.

Title: HaRGB

Description: My first attempt to add Ha to RGB data. I tried several unsuccessful methods and am not entirely happy with this attempt, but it was the best I managed with my current skills. I extracted the luminance from the RGB image and linear fit the Ha to that. Then I created a starless RGB and did an LRGB combination, followed by a small saturation tweak. This added substantial detail in some areas of the image, but lost a little elsewhere. I'm calling this the final version, but I may well be back for another attempt.
