Description

This image combines just 20 minutes each of sulfur, hydrogen, and oxygen with broadband data taken with the fast HyperStar imaging system. I assigned bands of color to each SHORGB channel and added them together proportionately based on visual inspection of detail (i.e. the red from hydrogen had a heavier weight than the red from, well, red). I shot for a compromise between a dull-toned dusty image and a bright contrasted nebula-only and kept the stars with beautiful diffraction spikes I suspect were caused by wires running from the camera in the HyperStar configuration.
