RCW52 is a very nice star formation region, in particular when viewed through SHO filters. It is challenging to post-process after linear fit, as the left hand side of the background is dominated by the blue colour, and the right-hand side by the green and red colours. I mostly worked at decreasing the orange taint to the right. There are also strange dark arcs starting from the central part of the nebula and extending to the bottom-right side. They are slightly visible in the Ha raw pictures and add up together with the ImageIntegration process. I changed many parameters in ImageIntegration but could not find a fix to that problem. But overall, the post-processing was fun to perform!
