Description

Thor's Helmet captured in 20-minute narrowband Ha, SII and OIII subframes over 3 evenings. There wasn't enough deep red SII so nebulosity was processed in HxO (no green channel) and the stars were tossed out. The stars were processed  in SHO after tossing out the nebula. Made for a fun and interesting project using 2 different color processing paths.
