Description

NGC 3324 The Gabriela Mistral Nebula

I created three images of this target to illustrate the difference between narrowband imaging and imaging in visible light.

This is the narrowband image. The emissions from different elements were put into different colour channels to differentiate their origins. The blue colour indicates the presence of Oxygen; bright yellow Hydrogen and dark red sulfur (also called 'the Hubble Palette’). It’s an elegant way of combining the beauty of science and nature.

(The data was acquired from iTelescope, which I processed using pixinsight and photoshop)
