Ngc 248

This is a region within the Small Magellanic Cloud, I found it personally to be quite an interesting patch of sky. It doesn't quite have the same punch as Mike and Trish's recent version, their FWHM seems much nicer

Pre-processing was done in PI, post processing done in Goodlook 64 and gradient removal done in PI. Very little processing as actually been done, no noise reduction, light deconvolution (pretty poor seeing) and just playing with levels and curves.

Mapped as a bi-colour.
Ha - Red/Green (33x600s)
OIII Green/Blue (35x600s)

There is a significant amount of random faint Ha within the area. Also many regions which have strong Ha but almost no OIII and visa versa.
