Photo description / processing

That case when one pixel decides everything; for a long time I couldn't understand why the result of the math didn't satisfy me. The reason is clipping of a pixel under the star Navi. Until I manually dimmed it, it didn't work properly. I didn't integrate the hydrogen too heavily since there's a critical lack of proper RGB; the background is painfully loose, one could say masked by stars.
