Cygnus Loop-01a

Same stack as previous image up to and including StarNet Star Removal.  Then applied NarrowbandNormalization.py (thank you Cuiv, The Lazy Geek! (...he's not that lazy!)), then Veralux HMS and Curves.  I think this approaches a Faux Hubble Palatte SHO, faux due to hardware limitations of the Seestar S30 Pro and also due to my inexperience.  That being confessed, I'm still happy with this variation.  Clear skys predicted for tomorrow night so I'll add more signal if I can then!
