    The image is improvement by filling in the blank corner with the single channel of H-alpha data available. Further, the purple stars are tuned to white.

    This nebula glows brightly in H-alpha, other channel do not contribute much to it. The three filters used were f675w, f656n, and f555w. The wideband filters were useful for making the stars visible.
