Description

This is my second shot on C34. This - on geological and/or astronomical timescales - young beauty in the sky presents itself in the wonderful colours of the oxygen and hydrogen emission lines. If one defines beauty as the "summation of the parts working together in such a way that nothing needed to be added, taken away or altered", two wavelengths of light emitted by a shockwave propelling two elements forged in the heart of a massive star seem to suffice.

A smaller telescope, a more restrictive UHC-S filter and a cooled camera were aimed at cygnus this time.
