NGC 2467 The Skull and Crossbones Nebula in SHO and SHS
NGC 2467 The Skulls and Crossbones Nebula.
This is my first capturing this object. It is quite high in the sky from Melbourne at the moment and I got some pretty good data.
It is a beautiful part of the sky and the star field in particular is quite stunning in my opinion.
Processing:
I have now made 2 versions of this image
The first image is a traditional SHO combination with RGB stars where the green hue has been shifted to the Reds and the distinct blue hue for the oxygen shows in the middle of the nebula.
The second image in a rather rare colour combination SHS. I have not seen this object processed with this colour palette before but I really like what it bring to the image with the red, orange, gold and purple tones combined with the RGB stars here which was achieved by doing an SHS combination (Oiii only in lumiance layer combined with Ha) targeting the green in the image and shifting it to the reds. Then I shifted the magenta in the neutrals to achieve the palette you see here.

Description:
NGC 2467 is a large and bright emission nebula located in the constellation Puppis. It is also known as the "Skull and Crossbones Nebula" due to its distinctive shape (which I'm still struggling to see the be honest) , which appears to resemble a skull and crossbones.
The nebula is situated about 12,000 light-years away from Earth and spans an area of approximately 150 light-years across.
The nebula is thought to have been formed by the intense radiation and stellar winds from massive hot stars located in its central region. These stars have ionized the surrounding gas and dust, causing it to emit light in the visible and infrared portions of the spectrum.
