Description

This nebula seems to have more surrounding hydrogen than I anticipated and even some nearby dark nebulae.  This is a mixture of SHO and the ForaXx palette. I tried to let the faint surrounding gas show through a bit, I also de-saturated the shadows slightly as the orange tone made the image look a bit murky?  I experimented with sharpening using high pass filters on the starless image in photoshop, I like this but it does leave some interesting artifacts in the dark dust, especially after running darkstructureenhance. Something I'll have to play with a bit more in the future.  Longer nights and some fairly decent weather in the Midwest and I'm starting to collect a backlog of data to process. Woe is me.
