Description

This is a continuation of my previous observation of NGC 1499. I've now collected data in Ha, OIII, and RGB, with this being my current final result. There isn't really much OIII present in this integration, and I had a lot of technical difficulties with collecting this data, which I think shows in the stars, and the less-ideal framing vs the Ha integration on its own.

This integration features an HOO palette for the nebulosity, and RGB stars, though clearly the stars have been clobbered, especially Menkib. Ha was used as an L-channel enhancement for detail and noise suppression. All linear and most non-linear processing is done in PixInsight, with a final de-noise and JPG output handled by Photoshop.
