North American Nebula. Used filter wheel to help capture stars in full spectrum for natural star colors and two different narrowband filters to create a Hubble Palette or SHO version of the nebula.
The Hubble Palette, named for an image processing technique often used in Hubble images. The technique creates what is called “false color” imaging by using narrow-band filters and assigning the data captured with each channel to one of the red, green, or blue colors in an RGB image. SHO refers to the first letters of the emissions from different elements: SII, Ha, OIII. (SHO).
Used Recat51 250mm refractor which frames the nebula well. I don’t think I did the SHO color processing correctly, but still think the colors look good in this version.
