Heart and Soul Widefield

last Friday was promised clear but with a nearly full moon, some high haze and passing cloud it turned out to be far from perfect.

This is around 7 hours with the Sharpstar 61EDPHII, ASI2600mc, L-eNhance filter.

 

C&C Welcome.

very nice and sharp. Maybe a personal thing - but maybe try it and see what you think ? - invert it, and do an SCNR in Siril or if you use PI, the 'remove magenta stars' does the same thing. I think you'll find it will make those blues pop more, and make the ha more 'firey'. Then again, I'm probably teaching egg sucking and you prefer it that way - that's the great thing about this hobby - individual expression. great image 👍

Thanks for the comment and the suggestion. I'll give it a go tomorrow and see how it looks.

Ok so heres the image with the magenta removed as suggested.

 

 

While the blue is better I'm not keen at all on the brown of the Ha.

 

This was another version i did earlier where i was trying, without much success for the gold colours of the Ha

 

Thanks for the comments / suggestions. Its always valuable to try a different approach.
