NGC6334 with Monster colour

Hi Guys

Here is the Cats Paw Nebula in pushed colour. Here for big.

Taken on an RCOS 10" RC Scope at f9, SBIG STXL6303E Camera and PME mount at itelescopes Siding Spring Observatory.
Processed with CCDstack, Star Tools and Photoshop. 37 hrs Total exposure time.
Ha, SII,Ha,OIII. Mapped as LRGB in "modified Hubble", a new processing experience for me.l

Ha 19hrs, 40min subs bin1. SII 5hrs 40min subs bin2, OIII 13hrs 40min subs bin2. And some 1hr for RGB stars. OIII was very dim.

Some may imagine seeing some artifacts, thats an optical illusion. And thanks in advance for pointing out wonky stars, I know about them .

Possibly, one may describe this as "overcooked", but you know, what ever it takes to be a bit different and make it pop .

Thanks for looking
