Description

This was really challenging. I tried to capture RGB and OIII/Ha to blend together and processing was much tougher than expected

My OIII and Ha data looks really strong (looks blown out by auto stretch) and doesn't seem to have the detail I was hoping for. RGB was relatively easy

I mostly gave up on processing eventually and need a break so I may come back to this. Not sure if the Owl looks over-processed or not but I will revisit after some time to sit on it

This is the best I could get for now
