Description

The red (Ha Signal) is sh2-129, the flying bat nebula which can easily be captured in city skies. The blue squid nebula (OIII signal) in this image (OU4) was discovered by the French Amateur Astrophotographer Nicolas Outters in 2011. It is very faint and for that matter i had to travel to Taqwa Observatory situated under bortle 1 skies of Bela, Balochistan. Data from different telescopes and camera set up were blended in Astro Pixel Processor to finish the project. Total integration has gone over 20 Hours which is highest for me so far.
