The processing of this photo started "in the Hubble palette style," but I added more red tones—after all, Ha dominates there—to give the image a dramatic feel. It’s kind of an artistic approach, with artificial colors, of course, "in those unnatural Hubble colors." Hope you get the idea ;-)

I think you might have mixed up the channels somewhere; the Hubble palette doesn't have colors like that.

Yes, the red shift is intentional. This is a hydrogen nebula.
So I have "non-standard Hubble colors" :) – I've corrected the title.
By the way, there are many variations and different combinations on AstroBin. And actually, if you mix green and red, you get yellow, and that's exactly what it is. =)

Well, you should have said so—I'm an artist, that's how I see it))) Why not mix a classic palette, since there are tools for that? I like two versions for this nebula: either SHO or HOO. On AstroBin, of course, I've seen purple versions too, but that's what AstroBin is for—to post all kinds of wild stuff)))
