A Gaudy Broom...

...Or my Swimming Sea Dragon has gone tropical!

This is 12 hours [SII], and 6 hours each HII and [OIII] in Hubble Palette.

Capture with 130mm f/7 TS Apo, ASI1600 and 3nm Astrodon filters in Nautical Dark, encoder guided.

Stacking, Trichomy and DDP in AstroArt 7 then into Affinity Photo as a 16 bit TIFF for Selective Colour, Curves and Clarity. Exported as JPEG

I think I shall leave it there as regards to data capture, at least until after we gat real darkness back, though I may well reprocess it.

[Wyvernp]

That's really nice! Makes me with I had received my SII before starting my veil project.

Magnificent Dave.  Great stuff!! 

[Physopto]

I really like that image. The different pallet makes a stunning view.

Stunning image, makes a nice change to see it in SHO.

[DaveS]

Thanks for the votes of confidence folks. I know SHO isn't to everybody's taste, but I wanted to give it a shot for "completeness". I may have overcooked a bit on the left, as some of the filaments have gone white, suggesting burn out.  Possibly due to injudicious curves in Affinity as the DDP looked OK.

Excellent Dave, an unusual filter combination which has come out well.

I really like that. unusual but very striking.

[DaveS]

Thanks.

I know it's usual to do this in HOO, but I have a sneaking liking for the Hubble Palette

 I imaged this back in '17 I think in NHO and had a long discussion with @Gina over NHO , and whether it was genuine, way back in the Anybody Playing? thread (I think it was in regard of Mel15). We decided that the "[NII]" signal was largely due to bleedthrough from the HII line, so I've gone for SHO here, and the [SII] signal does look separated from the HII.
