Description

More Canada - Sweden cooperation. Here is a third one of data from Francois Theriault and me. This one is DSLR data from me with Ha luminescence from Francois added to the center to increase detail. So, most of it is from an ES 127ED apo refractor with a TS Photoline 0.79 reducer (=FL 752mm) and a Canon 60Da (8 x 10 min, ISO 1600), with added central luminescence from an Antares 200mm Newtonean (FL 1000 mm) and a SBIG ST8300M (Baader Ha filter, 22 x 5 min).

With they way I happened to frame it, it suddenly hits me that it may look more like a cyclops with a broken lower lip than a rose, but that can also be pretty, can't it?
