Description

This is an LRGB composition. The L image is a 6-frame mosaic, taken with the 67 flattener and the cooled CCD camera. It provides high resolution and high S/N on the faint nebulas.  The RGB image is a 4-frame mosaic, taken with the 645 reducer and the DSLR, to provide the color.  The mosaic is drizzled to 0.5x the pixel size of the CCD to achieve higher resolution. So the final image has about 360 mega pixels.  The image uploaded here is 0.6x down-sampled.

Rev.E is an L-only image, processed independently without the RGB data.  It's inverted to better show the structure of the clouds.
