:sprefac: IC434 in SHO and HSO
Did not get very much data between the clouds over 5 hours. Most of the good images were in the first 30 minutes, the rest had half of the image obscured by clouds. Still stacked most of the images in DSS using 40%, the processed in PI and LR. I know there is no green in space but the HSO seemed to be clearer than SHO so I included both.

Thanks everyone. Still fairly new at this and my post processing skills show it. I think im over doing on the colors, but when i tone it done it just doesn't have the same impact for me.

Great images. Congrats on the APOD.

Since you are narrow band color mapping, you can choose anything you want for the mapping - even if it turns out green.

I like the green, Most people don't. I guess it depends personal preference.
