Description

GUM 15 or RCW 32 is a nebula region located in the constellation of Vela. In RGB, I found it to be pretty faint but there is a brighter Ha signal there as well so this is a HaRGB image of the region. For some reason, I found this very difficult to process. I am shooting through an Edge HD8 so capturing at F10 doesn't help with dim targets like this so I threw a heap of hours at it to get the final image. I think I have processed the data about 20 different ways, throwing away final images and starting again each time, trying to work out how to tackle star halos and the low level of signal without overstretching. Anyway, there it is, GUM 15/RCW 32.
