Description

My first shot at The Tadpoles with the FLT132. Only 2 hrs. in not great seeing so it's pretty grainy. This is more of a processing experiment to find a (hopefully) intriguing look and palette with a dynamic natural-color that breaks from the red-dominants typical of straight OSC and provides some of the depth of true SHO. This is RGB through an L-extreme, starless split RGB in PI (with some boost in the blue channel) and recombined as SHO in PI plus RGB stars. Final tweaks in PS.

Hopefully will do it right in Spring/Summer.
