Description

The Hour Glass
After doing the recent part of M8 I was pointed at doing the Hour Glass.
Now I gave it a try, it is basically an SHO palette, but as SII beeing the strongest component I blended that in as a luminance.
So the color appeareance is quite different from the recent part.
The data is 60 min. each SHO.
I hope you like it.
