| Notes |
After many nights of gathering data for the complete Hubble Palette I determined that the dominant Ha was too strong for a good false color combine (see attempt here). The Ha data however, was very strong and I decided to try Noel Carboni's Actions in Photoshop to add color and spikes to the image. The true Ha image can be viewed here. |
