Over five nights frames of the „Mexico“-region of the Northamerica-nebula were harvested. A synthetic green-channel was created with the H(α- and O3-frames using the PixelMath-method of Cannistra and Wechselberger in PI, and several versions were produced.
Out of four versions differing in colour and intensity no real champion could be elected by my astro-buddies, so I created a compromise-version out of my two favourite presentations.
