Description

This was a fun image to capture as well as process. More difficult than I had thought it would be but in the end I think I like it. I combined 60% Ha and 40% Sii then took the result and used it for my red channel and Oiii for both green and blue. I've never done this before and in the end I do like the colors that I was able to get with this version. Let me know what your thoughts are. Data was collected over 3 nights using my NBZ filter with my 80mm. This image will mark the last one I'll be taking with this setup as I'm getting my new setup ready once all my parts get here.

Title: HOO Version

Description: I used this version to give the new BlurXTerminator a try just to see what it would do. Pleased with the results. I've read that some don't think it would work on Starless images but I feel it do a pretty decent job. If you look at the larger view I think it really pulled more structure out just above the head of the nebula.
