Description

Object type : reflection nebula
Distance : 1827 lightyears

I shooted this object over 2 nights. The first night I shooted with the Optolong L-enhance filter for 1,5 hour. The second night I shooted for about 1 hour with the L-pro filter to add more RGB data. I combined these data together with Astro Pixel Processor, and this result came out of it.

A nice flying bird in the sky!
