Description

This picture is the result of a longer project, exposures were taken in summer 2013, and processing was frequently postponed because I never could decide on the colours. It is a 7 channel pic containing LRGB and HaOIIISII subframes, about 140 in total. Now, it is a narrowband image kept in rather realistic colors, so the natural star colors could be merged to produce an aesthetic appealing result. Well, for my taste ;-)

Ha is dominant and appointed mostly to the R channel, SII to the G and R channels, OIII to B and G channels. SII so brings out the golden shock fronts brightly, and OIII is used just a little to brighten and plastify the streaming Ha curtains in this wonderful sky marvel.
