    Notes: Here's M16 in Narrowband. This color isn't what you typically see for M16. I was having a hard time with the Hubble Pallet, I couldn't seem to find the right color combination. I decided to try mapping my colors like this: Ha = Green OIII = Red SII = Blue And the results are what you see here.
