      Messier 8 - One click dataset

      Messier 8 - One click dataset

      I ended this discovering phase with the may contest dataset.

      Processing remark :

      On Luminance : there is so much in this signal that I deliberately contain my self on sharpening phase, especially with MLT where a lot can be done. I wanted to keep a "smooth" feeling

      On Chrominance :

      - for M8, here I tried to keep the various colour that can pop up with SHO combination, in particular I kept some green and magenta in the nebulosity

      - for the stars colors, I prefered to start from a HOO combin (with 80% of Oiii and 20% of Ha for the green), that gives star colours closer to RGB.
