here is my try on the Monkey Head Nebula. My intention was to use the NB-Accent module, like Ron did, but I was not able to gather enough broadband data. So I ended up layering in RGB stars only.
I tried a whole bunch of red / teal renditions, but in the end I decided to use this Hubble palette style - like colouring, which came out quite nicely in my eyes. I dialed in quite some OIII in order to underline the spatial distribution of the two gases. This time I made use of most of the enhancing modules: Contrast, HDR and Sharp, which brought out the dust lanes nicely. I hope it's not overcooked. SV-Decon worked well on the stars as well as on the the structure of the nebula. Super Structure was used to saturate the colours only, not for noise reduction.
The broadband data suffers from high clouds and haze, but tried to do a broadband rendition using this limited data, too:
Don't know what's wrong with me, but I kind of like this image. This was a very basic workflow: No Contrast, no Shrink, no HDR, no SuperStructure, only SV-Decon. I like the colour of the nebula; probably the 'natural' colour of the Balmer series? I like the different sized stars, underlining the nice star clusters. And I like the already showing up reflection parts, which Ron already mentioned. I will for sure revisit this object some day and try to get more broadband data of better quality.
