Two cool images. I’m surprised you don’t have more blue in the SHO?
Thanks Brad, that was intentional. I was trying to create something different than what I processed before which is here: https://www.astrobin.com/full/268347/D/

Like Mark, I too favor the HOS process, but have no idea what the difference is. Even if you explained it to me, I probably still wouldn’t understand!
I still like what I see!
Thanks,
Jim

Thank's Jim, the letters represent the filters used and replace the standard RGB designation of images. R= Ha, G= OIII and B= SII or HOS. The SHO palette is R= SII , G= Ha and B= OIII. That is the starting point, but as you know the processing is what produces the desired resulting false color image.

+1 for the HOS.
I love playing around with the sliders....
Nice reprocesses, John... both of them.
Cheers
Thanks Jim, you are so right about the sliders. :smile:

They are both interesting renditions. The SHO palette version speaks to me more. Great job prepping them both.

Thanks Bob, I thought I would try the HOS version as you don't see it that much.
Here's a more typical SHO version
