Description

This is a wide field image taken with my TAK85, OPT Radian quad band filter and my OSC camera.  I have been experimenting with simulating the Hubble Pallet as you can see in this image.  I was drawn to this project because this is such an interesting area of the sky with a lot going on.  The nebula themselves are interesting on their own, but I really like the way they portray a story when looked at together.  In this case to me it looks like a tiger flying through space.

I captured this over about 1 week and about 17.5 hours of total integration.  This was my largest project to date.  The massive image resolution of the ASI6200MC Pro coupled with over 200 subs proved to be quite a challenge to process, even for my fast computer.
