The Dragon?

Hi All,
I had a lot of fun processing this one.
Good, strong data, even in SII.

After some initial 32bit stretching, I converted to 16bit and removed the stars before more stretching and sharpening.
Initial colour conversion was to Hubble palette and at the end, converted it to Bob Franke's turquoise-gold motif before blending in RGB stars

The result reminds me of a dragon.

Any comments or suggestions welcome.

Dale
