NGC 5189 - Segundo Procesado by Leandro DC

Les dejo un segundo procesado de esta nebulosa que fotografié hace unas semanas y luego de aprender nuevas técnicas creo que quedó mucho mejor de lo que pude hacer la primera vez sin tanto conocimiento. Sigo practicando para llegar a aprovechar cada sesión al máximo.

Esta es NGC 5189, una hermosa nebulosa planetaria espiral que se encuentra a 3000 años luz de la tierra.

Heart Nebula by Paul Macklin

This is a crop and reprocess of the Heart Nebula, roughly 6 panels of my 15-panel mosaic.

I reprocessed to better balance the ionized hydrogen (shades of gold) and oxygen (shades of blue) and used a lighter touch in Topaz denoising.
