Description

This was probably one of the most difficult to process objects I ever did.
The image is a HSO Narrowband with HO stars.
Exposure time is HSO 300 210 210.
When I started out it all looked kinda blurry and was overwhelmed with stars, so it needed acouple of runs with StarXterminater and de - enhancing the stars.
I didn´t have narrowband stars so I used the H and O channel for them
Anyway I hope you enjoy it.
Wolfgang
