      M16 in SHO

      M16 in SHO

      This is my first attempt of the many I'm planning to make with this object. I still remember the first time I saw the Hubble image of the pillars, and reading about the composition and what we know about this nebula.

      I'm starting to add many more steps to my processing workflow, but this time I did not want to use a newer palette like Foraxx, and instead I went to the classic SHO. Stretching is becoming a bit easier, and SPCC is helping a bit with star colors. I will probably reprocess all my previous images with this new workflow and post the revisions. There is still a loooong way to go, but I'm happy with my progress so far.
