Soul Nebula in narrowband

[RickS]

The Soul Nebula from a shared scope at SRO.  Acquisition details are on Astrobin.  I used the ColorMask script several times while processing this and had some thoughts for further improvements...



Cheers,
Rick.

Gorgeous!  Would you mind sharing the process you used with the ColorMask script.  I haven't played with that yet and any insights would be most welcome 

Best,

Jim

Thanks, Jim.  The main things I did with ColorMask were remove Magenta, make the yellows more orange and generally adjust the cyans and blues to taste:

• Magenta mask: Curves reduce R and B, boost G, slight desat
• Yellow mask: boost R
• Cyan/Blue masks: adjust a*, b* curves, lightness and saturation

Cheers,
Rick.
