tricolor emission line M8 using wavelength ordered palette

taken using the AP180EDT f/9 with 0.75x telecompressor and IMG6303E with 3nm Custom Scientific [SII]/Ha/[OIII] filters

total exposure time is 4H40M

One thing about the tricolor emission line method is that you have to generally attenuate the ha and find a way to boost the [SII] and [OIII] in order to get the maximum usage of the available color gamut. otherwise the image is dominated by hydrogen and turns green.
