44 Hours of the Wizard in SHO

[HunterHarling]

Here is about 44 hours of data on the Wizard nebula. A LOT of processing went into this image. It was difficult to get the traditional orange/ blue palette since the S and O data was so dim compared to the Ha. I finally settled on the starless image, as it brought out the dimmer nebulae in the background. 

ASI1600mm

FSQ 160

H: 100x400s

O, S: 150x300s each

Total~44 hours

Thanks for looking, questions/ comments welcome!

Wow. Removing the star gives it such a different feel.

Nice starless

Magnificent. It's worth zooming in on the central bit.  It looks like both cloud and rolling surf.

The center is really interesting...

Very nice.  How did you remove the stars?  PS or PI, or other?

Great image, but would prefer to see the result with the stars put back, even if somewhat reduced stars.
