The Glowing Hand of God (CG-4)
This is yet another telescope live image. The H-Alpha data really made this image come to life – it was actually a bit disappointing seeing how little dim dust the RGB image contained when comparing to other images. Regardless, seeing the depths of the hydrogen gas was really stunning. I’ve also been working on a new processing technique where I separate broadband and narrowband gas, which allows to to better control both levels. I think it works quite well!
