In reply to Kelly Harris. I use the hue slider in PixInsight's CurvesTransformation tool.

Hello. Incredible detail. Very well done. I am new to this endeavour/addiction and my SHO Pelican Nebula shot comes out excessively green using the hubble palette. I have accepted that since there is such a strong Ha signal and Ha is mapped to green. How do you get such a blue image when you capture half the exposure time of a weaker OIII signal? Just trying to learn. Thank you.

Nicely done, what an interesting region, the two Herbig-Hero objects are fascinating.

Ron that is an awesome image!
I just read in Amateur Astronomy Magazine that you are a new associate editor, I enjoyed reading your article, “Choosing An Imaging Target”, good reading.
Thank you for sharing your astrophotography knowledge, maybe my images will improve.

I see a beautiful image notwithstanding anthropomorphizing it!
Good thing we hominids are safe on planet earth with Ron to showcase the remote skies to us!
