Flaming Star

Hi folks
probably one of the most difficult images I have had to process. This object has barely no OIII, no green, huge blue (being a reflection nebula) and of course heaps of red, Ha and SII.

I think I have scratched this a dozen times until I got to this version, which actually I really like.

This was taken from Heaven's Mirror and many of the frames acquired under a bright moon - gotta love narrowband.

With the OIII being so weak, but the blue really strong, I got heaps of blue data and blended it ever so slightly with the OIII in order to enhance the reflection nebula. Anyway, let me know what you think.

Its a SII, Ha, OIII, OIII(+Blue) image consisting of 8:9.5:9.5:6.5 hours for a total of 33.5 hours.
