A cold Orion’s belt with a warm heart!

 

Hate it love it, this is a rarely used color palette (O/H/S) that shows the Hydrogen Alpha as blue instead of the usual red. I started processing it as a regular Hubble Palette (SHO) and also tried in true color (HSO), but did not like how strange the Orion Nebula looked, so decided to go crazy and stick with OHS.

 

This was taken from Las Vegas, with just 8 hours of integration time! You can see the image in higher definition with much more information and also several past attempts here: www.galactic-hunter.com/post/ic-434-the-horsehead-flame-n...

A video will be available in a few days on the Galactic Hunter Youtube channel :)
