NGC2070 in 3nm Narrow Band Hubble Palette

PixInsight used for all calibration, alignment and integration. Even with 3nm Narrow band filters I still get gradients due to light pollution. I used Dynamic Background Extraction to get rid of it.

I used drizzle integration to get full resolution back. Note that a binnedX2 image exposure for 32 min is equivalent to a full resolution image exposure of 128 min with a quarter of the read noise.

Data : SII 20f, NII 15f, OIII 18f. 32 min binned X2.

SII to red, NII to green, OIII to blue.

Used PS to tweak to the Hubble Palette using this recipe.
