      Sh2-273 in SHO

      In one of my previous images, I used the HSO dataset of this target from the AUS-2 telescope to enhance the RGB image. However, HSO images, although the colors are fake, are interesting, too, with almost endless possible combinations of colors. Orange-yellow with blue and blueish-teel with red and yellow accents usually work best for me. Although I'm not a big fan of green in astrophotos, sometimes I produce colorful images like this one. I uploaded other versions of this image to the gallery with my standard approach to narrowband filter color combinations.

      Dataset from which the image was processed

      NGC 2264
