Description

I revisited this classic target after 4 years with new gear, new knowledge, and new processing techniques. Still from the same backyard!

The revisions show different 'strengths' of the narrowband enhancements, while the original image shows the RGB data before any noise reduction. This was only processed with deconvolution, DBE, PCC Sd galaxy, HistogramTransformation just to give an idea about the data quality.

H-alpha data was shot in 2019 with my 80mm TS apo refractor.
Both narrowband channels were processed with the continuum subtraction method and blended with the linear RGB data. 

I was really happy to see so many unexpected nebulae in OIII, including the recently discovered likely planetary nebula PN-G 133.7-31.4 (Maa 2).
