Combining Ha and Oiii to produce a HOO pallette :
And then adding the S Filter to produce a SHO pallete (not really much in there at all).
Finally converting to the Gold and Turquoise pallette after deconvolution (BluXterminator) and star removal (StarXterminator) steps added in 2023 as a bit of fun 🙂
