LDN-1667 Dark Nebula in Canis Major

Breaking from astrophotography conventions for narrowband images, I've left hints of green glow and tones of purple, as I think it's eye pleasing.

This was certainly a challenging bundle of data from the 'olden days' / CCD :) I've separated stars/starless using StarXTerminator early on, at the end of the PixInsight flow and worked for the most part on the starless nebula in AffinityPhoto and Adobe Photoshop using Selective Color adjustments and Adobe Camera Raw filter. Stars were blended in at the end. Resolution was increased in Topaz Photo AI, to then downsize in Photoshop to reasonable export size while packing in now a lot more details per pixel.

Make sure to watch in full screen so it's in the correct square ratio (as most previews are rectangle). Also has tones of details in it, I've played with the resolution and carefully exported it with focus on preserving the details.

Speaking of details and aspect ratios, I've also attached two cropped versions.

Enjoy!
