Pickering's Triangle reprocessed with some new data

 I originally shot this image at September 2015 and it was selected as a NASA APOD (Astronomy Picture of the Day) at same month.


After the 2015 I have learned a lot and also shot lots of new data. The data I have shot is taken with much shorter focal length than original data but it was much deeper. I connected some dim background and color data from wide field image to this new version of Pickering's Triangle by using my new yet unpublished imaging method the VARES (variable Resolution imaging)
I kind of like the result, colors are more vivid and background has deeper shades.

Colors are from the ionized elements, Hydrogen, Sulfur and Oxygen. 
S-II = Red, H-alpha = Green and O-III = Blue.

The Pickering's Triangle can be see at one o'clock position.
