Description

The Propeller Nebula is in the constellation Cygnus, and there is not a lot of information about it available. Distance, etc.

I'm going out on a limb with this one a little bit. This image is an experiment, as I only used Ha and SII data to construct a psuedo-RGB version. The object is nearly devoid of OIII data, and I just hate some of the garish red treatments I often see of similar regions. This presentation seems pleasing to me, highlights the structure, and isn't overboard on the blood spattered red I often see on Ha/SII dominated objects. Data acquired in May from my back yard before the Florida summer weather induced imaging embargo struck.
