This is my first successful attempt at taking an image with a Hydrogen Alpha filter which helps to bring out nebulosity in objects.
The bottom image is an example of how creating a pseudo red image in Photoshop, bluring it, and then placing the HA filtered image on top of it as a luminance layer can bring out even more nebula details.
