Description

@Terry Robison generously provided this data for a workshop on The Astro Imaging Channel (TAIC).  It is available to anyone to download, process, and submit your version to TAIC.  You may get selected to appear on the show and talk about how you processed the image, but even if you don't, you'd still get to process this terrific data set.

Terry provided L, R, G, B as well as H, S, and O data.  I chose to create what I'm calling a "True Color Narrowband" image by mixing Ha, Sii, and Oiii in to a tonemap with the colors accurately reflecting the wavelengths emitted by them (656nm, 672nm, and 501nm, respectively).  Then I blended this tonemap back in to the LRGB image.  I liked the results and I think I may try this with a few other targets.

Thank you Terry for the great data.  

Please download and submit your version on the TAIC web site!
