About this image

Bit of an experiment after reading and being told that the nebulosity around this cluster can be hard to capture.
I will probably play some more, but this image is primarily from RGB base, formed from separate RGB images.

I then used the Hydrogen Alpha subs (added together) as the Luminance Chanel. So that nebulosity sprung to life.
The colour visualisation were all weird so i have finally flattened the image and converted to greyscale.

So the final image is reminiscent of a film plate!
