Description

RCW 120 is a bubble of emission nebula and H II region created when dust and gaes forms around an “O” type star .
In the southern Milky Way it is and located around 4,300 light-years from Earth with has diameter of around 6 arminutes.

Not great conditions or results to work with so what the hell ... time to experiment.

Rx10 Gx11 Bx6 @180s + HAx9 OIIIx11 SIIx9 @ 300s

I tried working with both RGB and SHO Data for the first time.

SHO was converted to Luminance and that was gently worked back into the RGB.

Sorry.
No Green Ring.
That was left behind in the SHO.
