Description

NGC1333 & the surrounding reflection nebula imaged from the dark site operated by the Charlotte Astronomy Club in rural South Carolina, about an hour or so from the southern edge of Charlotte. Imaged over two separate nights at the dark site with OSC.

I later added some H-Alpha data to try to get a little more detail in the small areas of the Embryo Nebula where Ha comes through most clearly. In processing, I treated the H-Alpha data in exactly the same way that you would when added Ha to a galaxy, using continuum subtraction in pixinsight so as to only add in the Ha where it might make a contribution.
