Description

Back in May 2021 I posted a Ha[OIII] bicolor of Messier 8 that won IOTD but I never posted an SHO. I got the [SII] data but wasn't happy enough with the SHO image I made at the time. So, after another half year refining my processing style, I thought I would revisit this beauty of a nebula and give an SHO another try. What I came up with is pretty typical of my style with shaded of red/yellow/cyans, but because every target is different, had to a lot of tweaking with the adjustment layers to hone in on my preferred color palette.
