Description

Here is the LBN 331 Nebula in Cygnus. It’s not a very well known target in this region but I hope this image helps to change its reputation. LBN 331 is a beautiful Ha emission nebula, it reminds me of the Veil Nebula but without traces of OIII, this one is purely Ha. That is why I choose this target, to combine Ha with RGB and produce a true color image. Since I have a mono camera I was able to capture the Ha on a light polluted location closer to home and capture the RGB in dark skies. That is why I love mono, it is just so flexible.

In total I got more than 14h of total integration time. Also this was my first image edited exclusively on Pixinsight. Usually I use Photoshop at the end of the editing process, but the image came out really well in pix so I didn’t need to do anything more.
