Ngc 3576

It's been quite a while between gaps in the clouds in Brisbane (at least for me). Of the 2 clears nights I could only image on one so got a measly 2 hours on NGC 3576 (Ha and OIII). Not sure when the skies will clear again so thought I'd have a go at the data with aim of processing only in PixInsight. Had a lot of fun playing with colour masks and curves to tweak the various hues using a simple HOO colour palette as a base. Comments on improvements, better strategies etc. always welcome.
