NGC 3324 Gabriela Mistral nebula - reprocessed

[CRTAstro]

Re-processed one of my favorites, NGC 3324 Gabriela Mistral Nebula using some new processing techniques in PixInsight added to my SHO (Hubble palette) workflow mainly to reveal some more of the nebula and surrounding dust lanes not visible in the initial version.

This is really nice, have you considered cropping some from the top and right to get the blue portion in the upper 1/3 position? It might make a stronger image.

Spectacular - I do like how this turned out. Ben's cropping suggestion might be a good one.

Hey Carlos,

Now there is some really cool detail. This one which I hadn't heard of before has a very distinct bubble feel to it. That's so cool. I like this like how you have it as I think keeping the bubble in the middle works well for my eyes.

Thanks Ben. Will see how it looks.

Cheers Jim ! Yeah That was my thinking too as imho DSO's somehow don't need to follow the ROT, but will have a look anyways
