Description

This object was one of the reasons why I got into Astrophotgraphy...

During my stay at the Hakos Astrofarm in Namibia I took a small portion

of each night to gather the data.

Luminance consists of 60 x 300s Ha Frame who are rotated about 120° to each other.

Due to the rotation the image is cropped. 2x Drizzle Integration and later reduced to 70%.

I tried to stick closely to the modified Hubble palette and fokused on details as much as possible.

Processing in Pixinsight, Imppg & Photoshop.

And just a quick reminder! This image was taken with a 240,00 Euro GSO Newton!!!
