The color combination is just awesome! Did you shoot near Kurumoch?

Thanks! Initially I wanted to process it in a more classic palette, but the oxygen here is quite weak, so this was the only way to bring it out without dragging the overall SNR down too much.
Yes, I shot it from a base camp not far from there.

What's the point? Passing off an emission nebula as dust...

Well, here we go) I appreciated the artistic presentation, my eye catches it nicely) in many sho hso the gas component under blending looks like dust. So it's all just poetry.

No, that's no good. Bringing out what isn't there at the cost of losing contrast and gamma is iffy. I stretched the oxygen and lost the hydrogen. Now I'll load up the hydrogen. The eye won't stay indifferent. Maybe I'll even gather more oxygen and put out a full-fledged piece soon.
