Description

The Soul Nebula
Was always one of my favorite targets on my wishlist and I couldn't wait to start imaging it. For this reason I pumped a lot of hours into it, making it my longest integration up to date. I always do a little bit of research on Astrobin and on the big web to see how people went about editing it and I was always on the impression that a lot of those edits where on the edge of being too extreme. In this rendition I tried to balance the the palette in order for the final result to be pleasant to the eye. 

All shot from a bortle 8 zone, the Ha on nights with the moon out, all the OIII on moonless nights. 

Let me know what you think and, as always, constructive criticism are always welcomed.
Clear skies!
