The Crab Nebula (M1) in HOS palette - Moana Project

[Vroobel]

I'm bored, so it's best to play with other people's shared data while waiting for the complete set of my own. I found a website on the Internet describing so-called Moana Project: someone from Texas (or just in Texas) built a decent ATM Newton 10" F/4.5 and mounted it on an Astro-Physics 1200 GTO mount. A common camera and filters, probably for now or when subs were being collected. The data is decent and presented as a set of subs plus masterDark and masterFlaty for SHO and RGB.

The Starless version is rotated at an angle of -35° according to telescopius.com.

Why HOS? I was charmed by the colours after using this combination, because it looks like some surrealist painting. The colours are not modified manually.

Well, it always was the most colourful nebula, but the HOS palette makes a difference.
