Western Veil HaOIIIRGB hybrid

[Jessun]

Hello,

Almost 23 hours gone into this one, and it still proved really tricky to process.

I had 13 hours and 24 minutes worth of RGB (OSC) data, and decided to add some NB, and here's 6 hours 10 minutes Ha and 3 hours 20 minutes OIII using the 3nm Astrodon filters.

A major problem was that the region is teaming with Ha and the scene quickly turned red drowning the stars. The OIII on the other hand was tricky to control so it didn't take over the nebulosity.

The central star was not too bad, and I've actually boosted it in this rendition as an artistic tweak. I wanted it to look almost blinding.

The ED120 and ED80 did the work here again.

Thanks for looking!

Looks pretty good i would say. A real nice sense of depth.

Very nice image.

That's a great shot certainly got a lot of the surrounding nebulosity showing
