skysurfer,
I think Mike/Trish explained it perfectly in their reply.
I haven't captured this area in LRGB, but, have photographed it with unmodified and modified DSLRs. If you do a search for my username in the Deep Space subforum, you'll see images I've posted years ago, which do, indeed, align with the colours you have mentioned.

Mike and Trish,
Thank you!
I'm finding it very tough processing these narrowband targets. But, the results seem to be worth it.

You've shown the strong topographical separation of Ha, OIII, and SII typical of the LMC very nicely. |
Mike,
Appreciate it. I wasn't sure what the reception would be like as it is quite different to what is normally shown. Maybe it's the excessive number of hours that has highlighted typically-unseen bits and pieces? I could have stretched the data further, but, it just looked like a mess at that point.

Mike has summed it up pretty well I recon, we need to take back the science from the art!...at least a little

Rick,
Wow, you, too, huh?
Thank you, lots! Your ColorMask script is to blame!
