Description

NGC 1491 is a bright emission nebula found in the constellation Perseus.     For this first run I decided to try this in SHO.     While the core is fairly bright, the "claws" took a while to reveal themselves.   This has proven to be a real processing challenge and definitely pushing my PI skills.     For this shot, I blended RGB stars in with the SHO data.

100 frames each SII, HA, and OIII at 300s.     30 frames each RGB at 60s.
