Flame Nebula

[raw nest]

I must say, this is a BEAUTIFUL nebula! I didn't realize how cool it is.
I also wasn't expecting good results. It was partially cloudy when I shot this.

Oh god

@raw nest your detail is very nice, but i think your blue noise or halo is spilling over to the flame itself, that part is def not blue so a color fix would help

also

DAMN SPIKES

[raw nest]

yes, i do need to fix the spider

the reason why the spike is a bit wavy towards the end is because starx didnt remove the star fully

[raw nest]

can you circle the part?

part around altinak or the part on the left?

[timber garnet]

@raw nest

all of that is not supposed to be blue

[raw nest]

huh thats weird, I did SPCC

[timber garnet]

i think your DBE might be bad

so you are getting lighter patches and thus casuing that

[raw nest]

hmm alright

ill do a reprocess

@timber garnet

you may be right

dbe did add that

after dbe

[raw nest]
