RCW16 (Skull and Crossbones Nebula)

I had originally posted a version of this with half the data before the December contest had been announced. So this gave me an opportunity to process the whole data set. I wanted to retain the colours of the orginal [modified SHO Foraxx palette] while pushing a little harder with the extra SNR. Not sure if it improves on my first attempt, but it sure is a beautiful looking nebula, and I am enjoying seeing all the various interpretations of the data here. Good luck to everyone in the contest.
