The Bubble Nebula in HST-palette

I relized yesterday, that I actually shot Narrowband colors for the Bubble Nebula!
The colors are from a small part of the wide field image belowe. I marked it there.

This image of Sh2-157 is shot November 10 2008. The original image and data can be found

It's amazing how litle and low resolution color information is enough to build HST-palette image.
The signal from S-II and O-III channels is carefully mixed to a H-a channel.
Then the O-III and S-II boosted H-a channel is used as a luminance.
I must try this tecnique with some other, older , narrowband images as well!
