Description

DWB111 - Propeller Nebula in SHO
Constellation Cygnus the Swan
Emission Nebula - part of a larger Cygnus emission nebula

Imaged using 6nm filters over a number of moonlit nights - the OIII was barely, if at all, visible in subs so is likely a faint component as well. M27 - my previous image - was captured over the same timeframe using 3nm filters and shows OIII signal much stronger when processed. When I purchased the 3nm filters the very knowledgeable vendor asked if I would be imaging under moonlit conditions and suggested 3nm filters - I think this good advice.

Propeller Nebula images seem to show a variety of processing outcomes. When I look at this image I cannot now un-see a small blue alien floating across the image - waving as it goes - so this could be titled Little Blue Alien as well.
