Very beautiful! Rarely do I like this nebula for some reason, but your palette really works for me! :))

Thank you) the color combination came out somehow by accident. I'd like to reprocess it with a more careful result in terms of sharpness and noise, but I'm afraid I won't be able to replicate the color. And because it's a mosaic, all the processing steps take very long.
