Description

First attempt at imaging NGC 7822.   Foraxx-like palette from OSC images.  November 18, 2023, Little Rock, Arkansas.    For post-processing, I used an approach described here by Paulyman Astro on YT.  

Note:  In the original version there was an error in the stars.  I had just started astrophotography during the previous month and was just beginning to learn PixInsight.   In retrospect, it appears that I rotated the image in PixInsight when starless and then forgot to rotate the stars. I would not make this mistake now but, with the square sensor, this is an easy rookie mistake to make.

Title: revised_v2

Description: Revised about 5 weeks later. Aims of revision: uncrop, bring out shadow/faint areas, use SPCC and minimal direct alteration of color after. Original version used a Foraxx-like palette. The stars are correctly aligned in this version. ;-)
