Ha, thanks Fred. I can't claim credit for that, that's just a simple LRGB combination in PI, and then a little SNR.

I think most people think of the Hubble Pillars of Creation image as the prime example of the Hubble palette and it certainly wasn't a binary image (see attached). That is just my opinion though (I'm hoping to start a conversation, not a flame war ).

Cheers, Kevin. Yes I do notice that many SHO images turn out bi-colour. They still look great though! I just wanted to try out something not as common with this image. I know many aren't keen on green, but that's okay We all like what we like.

Ha, too true. Small images can hide a multitude of sins
