Description

After capturing this target in October in both narrowband and RGB, I struggled with the color processing until time allowed to finally get to a point I was happy with -- see other uploads.

If not obvious, and despite others finding that this target is more suited to RGB (or Ha), my aesthetic goal for this modified-color HSO image was to make the Flaming Star look more like it's actually on fire!
