Vela SNR HRGB+HOO

My take on the Vela SNR was to take advantage of the combined excellent Pro Data sets by Ian Horarth in both RGB and HOO. I wanted to present the complex and chaotic environment in this region of space.

After combining the data, star aligning all of the images, and building the integrated the sub-master images, I started by combining an LRGB combination; in this case the Hydrogen Alpha sub-master serving as the luminance component. Then, using the NBRGB (Narrow-Band, Red, Green Blue) Combination script in Pixinsight, I built the HRGB+H+O+O image.

The end result is the result of a variety of tweaks in Photoshop, including the new raw enhance feature that essentially quadruples the resolution of an image. Although the effect is not as dramatic as you might expect, I think it is a useful process.
