NGC7000 North American Nebula in HOO and SHO

[dave_galera]

This is an image of NGC7000 The North American Nebula in HOO that I recently entered into the RPS's Science Photographer Of The Year Competition, didn't win it but was selected down to the last 10 out of 3000+ images, and my image is being exhibited at the London Science Museum during October to January.

This is the newspaper release of the exhibition and the shortlisted images https://www.theguardian.com/science/gal ... -shortlist

What an incredible image. You must be chuffed with that accolade

Love the colours Dave , I will have to have a go , I would imagine getting the white gas/dust to be problematic..

Thanks very much for your kind words, it isn't often you get something accepted like this, thanks again.

Brian, I normal adjust colours in PI using colorMasks, although I think this image was done in PS just using Channel Mixer, and yes it a fair bit of fiddling to get it juts right.

Just as a comparison I have attached the SHO version.
