Description:
Processing this image was quite a challenge for me. I wanted to get the feeling of depth in this image. There is a background Ha that gives a really nice, faint red gradient on the background, the last layer. At the same time, Ha spans across the image with filaments that add detail, a second layer. We have three main objects that are in the foreground (well, at least on the image plane), but then we have fainter patches of dust around it. Third and fourth layer... And that Oiii, of course, shows itself between the bright Ha regions. But during the processing, I realized there are more Oiii in this image, along with the Ha filaments on the left. I leave it for the others. All of these different structures added more and more layers to the image.
