Description

This rendition is the result of RGB only. No Luminance and no narrowband.
I was surprised to see that the well-known Pacman shape is surrounded by brown  molecular clouds.
I guess that once you inject narrowband into the data (as it's done often with NGC281) it supresses the signal of the molecular clouds.
