Description

This is a narrowband image that I decided to take in a different direction. I wanted the surrounding hydrogen gas clouds to be reddish as in a broadband image. The center could stay as a narrowband. I did a blend with SII and Ha as the luminance. For the main image I made it a SOO.

53 x 300 SII

81 x 300 OIII

86 x 300 Ha

Total exposure time of 14.4 hours

Description: This object IMO is one of the most photogenic nebula in our sky. For this revision, I did a total makeover. The stack is SHO with another layer of Ha used for the stars and for luminance. It was also tone mapped and DeNoised. I've been trying to learn Photoshop and was able to use that for a great deal of the work in addition to PixInsight .
