Description

This image is basically the image below:

https://astrob.in/p2d4bj/B/

with color information coming from almost 9 hours exposures in 3 nights (120 secs each unguided subs) taken with an Acuter 90ED reduced to F 6.7 with a AP reducer, and a modded Canon 600d, with Astronomik CLS CCD filter. The telescope was mounted on top of the Orion Newton 250 f 3.9, with which the O3 image was taken. All on top of an Ioptron CEM60.

Resulting image was almost monochrome,. I had to increase saturation a lot in order to bring out some color. This image was used as color layer on the mono image with PS.

Abell 61 is a very weak and old planetary nebula in the Cygnus constellation.

Thanks for looking
