Description

Yet another of the colourised POSS2 images that I am currently entertaining myself with as the chances of getting new data up here in Northen Europe has been dim lately. POSS2 is the second Palomar Observatory Sky Survey done in the 1990ties that is freely available to download. They are monochrome glass plate images (red or blue filtered) taken with a 1.2-m Schmidt camera.

Here is M78 with lum data (red filter) from POSS2 and my RGB data from October 2016. All done in PS CS5.
