Description

December has been a month of experimentation. I shot this image of the Flaming Star Nebula over four nights in narrowband, adding a round of RGB stars for integration into the final photo. This is such a striking deep sky object with its convolutions and wispy OIII blue at the center. I really like the interplay of gold, red and blue.
