It feels like doing cartography so you can return to each and every object with different setups and techniques !<br />
This is a super-wide shot using my usual rig, I’m planning to add more data to this, especially broadband, so that little NGC 6914 reflection nebula can pop-up.</p>

I experimented with Narrowband Normalization script to create the HOO pallet, combined with VeraLux HMS for pure vector stretching, which inherently preserves the true “physical meaningfulness” of the data.</p>

<p>I was mostly doing EAA with quick edits on Lightroom, but now it seems that a whole new world of processing is waiting to be discovered.</p>
