NGC 3293

Open star cluster NGC 3293 in SHO with some extra processing for colors.

Thanks to Mathieu Guinot for an inspiring image from the same area. It made me try something different with the colors. I may have overprocessed this but some days are more colorful than others :-)

How do you get the blue to pop? Depending on the combination and balancing, I either get a predominantly red or green image - the blue just doesn't come through, even in the central cluster of bright stars.
