Difficult processing with these data: separating stars and galaxy with StarXTerminator doesn’t work well here, too many artefacts. So all the stretching was done with the starfull images, with just a bit of star reduction on L, to preserve the many little, mostly blue stars in the arms of NGC 300.

Some old narrowband data of the Helix was sitting for quite a while on my hard disk. Recently I started to adopt the “Foraxx” palette described in The Coldest Nights blog and used this technique with the SHO data, but combined both the SHO Foraxx and Bicolor Foraxx results, with a bit of RGB mixed in, and added RGB stars. Hope that the result isn’t too bad. ;-)
