Description

Inspired by the fantastic job Alberto Pisabarro did with this data (https://astrob.in/5tbwco/0/), I wanted to try it myself.

This is my first try with Hubble's data. Instead of just reproducing the image already released by STScI Outreach in 2018, I switched off my 'auto-constrained mode' to focus on the complex textures. I also tried to keep the whole field.

Very, very clean dataset from STScI Outreach Imaging Team... processing was a pleasure.

HST WFC3/UVIS instrument. I used only F658N, F656N and F502N filters data, corresponding to [NII], Hα and [O III] emission lines.

Retouched manually to remove light leak from a out of field star.
