Description

The Tulip nebula is beautiful in wide angle shots, but the complexity of Sh2-101 is truly revealed at a higher focal length where the black hole's jets form the bow shock and the gas structure's shape is more evident.

This is a combination of SHO filters in Hubble palette with RGB stars captured as a composite.

Processing:
Minimal color adjustments were necessary. Curves contrast adjustment focused on the blue and yellow spectrums and that is all I really added here.
