Description

Not sure if this beautiful emission nebula of the southern hemisphere has any name.

This is Ha, Sii and Oiii data from Telescope Live at the El Sauce hosting facility at 1500m elevation in Río Hurtado, Coquimbo Region, Chile. Each channel is 5 x 10 min. So like the recently posted Carina nebula, not much total integration time but noise was low (no NR applied) and this 8" f/3 telescope is clearly a light-bucket.

I started off with Ha in the red channel, Sii in green, and Oiii in blue, but then tweaked the colours quite a bit in PS towards a more RGB like image.
