What mix of channels do you use for Hubble Pallete ?

[teoria_del_big_bang]

Apart from one or two images I have usually just used a straight SHO mix for my NB images (unless bicolour of course 🙂 ) but having done some Googling on the correct blend to use I am more confused than ever what is the most used combination.
I think the first dozen threads I opened have revealed a dizen different mixes, some very similar to each other but none the exact same.

What do you use ?

Usually the classic hubble palate for me Ha - G, OIII - B, SII - R.  I like to leave some green in the image rather than go for the blue and gold look.  I really don't like other variations of the 3 channels.  However, some targets have a very discrete OIII component e.g. the Cresent and Jellyfish nebulae.  I think a bicolour approach then works very well giving a fairly natural looking colouration,  Ha - R, OIII - B+G

When I've done HST palette I too go for straight SHO with no channel mixing to muddy the waters, though I may adjust the relative levels of each channel.

Which is what I have been using, maybe then just boosting the individual colours with curves, or colourSaturation, apart from a couple of images that, as @MartinB says were very lacking in OIII I may have done some sort of PixelMath combo instead of RGB, or in the case of the veil nebulas use BiColour.
Fiddling about with different maths just seems to be adding further complication to the processing to me.

I think people like to post that they used pixel math!

Sounds funny but yes I bet you are right 🙂
