Description

M8
This was actually just an experiment but I think it turned out quite interresting.
The image is just SII Green and Blue.
While Ha Green and Blue always looks unnatural using SII as Red shows great contrast in the details while retaining more natural color hues.
I´m gonna try if it works on some other objects as well.
