Description

Almost 2 years later, I finally applied OIII data to my old H-alpha image of the Heart Nebula to create this color image. The OIII data is in fact split across a 2-panel mosaic. I had to go with this approach due to the lack of automatic rotation on my rig.

Description: I changed up my post-processing techniques, such as the use of PixInsight's ArcsinhStretch process, and a more aggressive use of masks, in order to bring out the blue color of the faint OIII signal from the nebula.
