Description

RCW 61 captured with the CH1-CMOS platform at Telescope Live. A slightly tweaked SHO palette, to give a more subtle blue centre and better(?) transition to the rich reds of the outer part of the DSO.  The nebula has significant [SII], which results in its "fiery" appearance. 

Rather reminscent of a "mini" Rosette, hidden down in the deep Southern sky.
