Wizard Nebula in HOO

Excellent.

I don't really understand the terminology but an excellent image.

The MN190 really is a super imaging scope.

HOO is a palette option (eg. Vs SHO which is usually termed the Hubble palette since I believe it was made commonplace by that but I don't know) where I've assigned Ha to Red, Oiii to Green *and* Blue in the channels. Typically Ha is a really strong signal which is where most of the detail is from here, Oiii is affected by moonlight badly so you generally won't image Oiii in moonlit conditions. It's also often way weaker but not always (Veil for example, and Crescent Nebula has a lovely "shell" of Oiii).

Don't know why it's called the Wizard Nebula, it doesn't look anything like Roy Wood  🤣
