Description

⁣THE FISHHEAD⁣

Located in the constellation Cassiopeia, this magnificent star forming region surrounded by energized gas and dark dust lanes is itself located alongside the larger Heart Nebula and is known for its strong source of radio emissions.⁣

We are star dust.⁣

This image was created with data captured across 7 nights from October to November using a 8” Ritchey–Chrétien reflector telescope and a cooled, monochrome camera (binned 2x) with both narrowband and broadband filters.

The Hydrogen Alpha, Oxygen III and Sulphur II emission wavelengths are exceptionally strong in this region and I mapped the colour palette to try and make something truly unique! Blended in RGB stars for good measure. I hope you like it! ⁣
