A disrespectful spider.

With all the moon about and the usual light pollution to the south I figured I'd have a go at a narrowband image of NGC2070. The Astrodons do a very nice job, and here's about 10 hours worth of SHO mapped to RGB. Owing to the strength of the Ha and OIII in this object, most processing efforst ended up blue-green, but winding the SII right up in the pixinsight AIP-SHO tool, and then playing about with Ricks selective colormask script I ended up with this result. I kind of like it, mainly because I've spend hours staring at a green version while cooking this one up.
Still -hardly respecting the light, is it? Anyway, I had a bit of a dig around and didn't see any renditions of this that weren't green, so maybe I should have left it as it was.
