Triple APOD - November 16, 2024: Sadr Widefield in Foraxx Palette by Tyler Olteanu

Making images out of narrowband data is inherently artistic in nature. Choices need to be made about how the wavelength or wavelengths are assigned colour wise, as well as their relative intensities to each other. Playing with these factors change how visually pleasing your image is, but it does have scientific merit too, in that it can emphasize or hide information brought out in your image. Scripts like Foraxx can dynamically assign colours and values to input narrowband, even from non-monochrome sensors like Tyler's camera he used for this amazing wide view of the heart of the Cygnus region!
