Description

This project started out as a moderate attempt at an HOO image with white stars using a high magnification setup but turned into a bit of an HOO vs RGB comparison after I decided to grab some RGB subs for coloured stars and realized that there was quite a bit of nebulosity captured in RGB.

2 different versions here:
