Description

This is a crop and reprocess of my recent 100-hour, 15-panel mosaic of the Heart and Soul Nebulas, posted at https://www.astrobin.com/ar32lb

In particular, I have worked on rebalancing Ha and [OIII] to better emphasize Melotte 15, and I used more minimal processing in Topaz to stay truer to the raw data. The crop was chosen to be more amenable to photo printing.
