Description

This picture was taken with Astrel8300m using Astronomik Deepsky and NB filters on Takahashi's FSQ106 with 0,73x reducer at 385mm. It is a 6 channel mix, LRGB + Ha12nm + OIII12nm. I tried to work also on the subtle structures inside the nebula mass, and brought out the shock fronts using an orange color tint for the brighter Ha parts. That looks a little like false color, but isn't exactly. OIII was mixed in alsmost between green and blue, so the resulting color with Ha is almost whitish, resembling the colors of a DSLR pic.
