Tarantula

My take on the Tarantula nebula from 4 one-click observations at telescope.live. I stacked, combined and stretched in Astro Pixel processor and processed in photoshop.
For this picture I combined the RGB and Ha OIII and SII sources in several combinations
False color combination of RGBHOO, RGBSHO, HOO, SHO and luminance.
This way I was able to fine tune all the little details and apply the HOO colors producing this color graded look from the original sources.
I was able to control the background noise level too, I was able to blend the background of the different combinations, darkening the noise before noise reduction. This step allowed me to target the noise even better.
