Description

This was taken over four separate nights using after much experimentation a HOO palette. A huge shout out to Ruben Barbosa who inspired me to try out various Pixel Math formulas in PixInsight. It has been an absolute revelation. Also many thanks to https://www.lightvortexastronomy.com for their excellent tutorials. I did actually have Sii data as well but decided not to use it in the end after various experiments. I'm slowly starting to refine my process both in PixInsight and Photoshop. There is so much to learn but an awful lot of fun doing exactly that.

As always I tried to hit the right balance with the right number of stars so they didn't overpower the image. I think I hit on a happy compromise with this subject.
