Thanks, Rick. Thor was very Spartan with the SII, and that prompted us to try NII.

Cheers, Alan, glad you like it. Swapping red and green would make it Hubble convention. NII is two nM longer than Ha. But as Norman Lindsay famously said, "the art is at a maximum at the moment of greatest resistance from the medium." You're right that there is a tiny bit of clipping in the deepest dust lanes.

Big hug, Fred! The original motivation for NII to green was to minimize the famous Kermit look. Let's pretend your version is the official one. We hope to get more data on this one, to remove some of the grit in the faintest stuff, so perhaps the next version will be red-green reversed.

Best,
