Description

Two-panel HDR mosaic featuring the prominent M8 and M20 nebulas on the right, and the trio of IC 1274, IC 4685 y NGC 6559 at the left, surrounded and intertwined with many dark nebulae. A show of emitted, reflected and absorbed light.

This image was awarded with the 3rd prize of the Astrophotography Contest of the Red Andaluza of Astronomía (RAdA), in september 2022, under the category "Night Sky". I'm quite proud of this, especially because the judge panel was composed by highly regarded spanish astronomers and astrophotographers. 

15x180s and 15x10s per filter (R, G, B).
