Description

It's a M1 LUM combined with color info. picture, meaning the LUM part was taken with my 16" SCT, total exposure time: 92*30sec. The color part come from a parallel photo session done with my WO FLT-110 and a Canon 60Da camera, total exposure time: 26*4min.

So it's a 2.5hour color picture taken 4. Jan-2016 in windy conditions and freezing temperatures below zero degrees centigrades.

Concerning the speed of the nebula expansion please check out my pictures in this link,
