Description

The Soul Nebula, IC 1871.  A beautiful region of dense clouds that trigger star formation. The dark structures are clouds of dust obscuring the light from our view some 6,500 light-years away. 

This image was captured through 3nm ultra-narrowband filters and is a composite of ionized Sulphur, Hydrogen, and Oxygen atoms and displayed with a modified SHO "Hubble" Palette. Hydrogen Alpha data was collected over 3 nights from the 15th  to 17th of November with  a lot of moonlight from the outskirts of Vancouver, Canada (Bortle 6).

First light with the Optec Gemini focuser and Optec Sagitta OAG

Ha data was captured near the full moon (hence the shorter subs).
