Description

I had a blast imaging the heart nebula over the weekend.  This is a beautiful target with a lot of detail and depth to it. The LDN structures that build up the dust clouds have so much to offer and it didn't take much to preserve the orange and yellows while pushing the blue signal up, really enjoying the L-ultimate filter. The sh2-190/mellote 15 area was a bit tricky preserving the detail of the clouds while also capturing the detail of the surrounding gas. May revise at a later date. For now I am very pleased with this and hope others enjoy it too!

Description: Taking feedback I added some vibrancy to the area and preserved the core during GHS, also white balanced the stars better while bringing their size down some.
