      RCW19 (Gum10), 20 (Gum11) Widefield

      Processed using APP, PixInsight with BXT, NXT, SXT, MAS, GHS, and Affinity Photo 2. This palette is created by the SHO Hubble 4 option of the APP Combine RGB tool. After experimenting with it I have come to use it for fields with a lot of empty space. The advantage is that the pastel colors show up the background much better than saturated colors. The tradeoff comes with less color contrast in the interior solid objects.
