Description

Of the narrowband filters, SII, in particular, often provides a dramatic outline of nebular structure. However, this is commonly obscured by bloated stars. Accordingly, I have adopted the technique of starless SII imagery in a quest for high contrast, monochrome portraits of emission nebulae. Enjoy the "contrast" between this SII and the previous HST image of IC2944.
