Colour rendition
Probably a hot topic (been good at picking those lately), but where do we draw the line on proper rendition of DSO, especially nebulosity.
M42 is a CLASSIC example - I have seen SO many varying colour pictorials on M42, it's hard to conclude what is actual/real colour! I have seen from nearly all blue, to hot pink to every imaginable variation.
I TRY to deliver my images in what I PERCEIVE is natural colour rendition - fairly mute at that - but is there a so called bench mark standard to compare to/strive to emulate? I thought Hubble may be a good start, but SO many are in false colour, and sometimes it is not annotated that the image is false colour.
I acknowledge there are definite colours for each gas emitted, but of course the intensity/hue depends on MANY factors.
Really would like some constructive discussion on this one
