Description

An interesting HII Region in Cepheus that includes a very faint bipolar [OIII] nebula. Very challenging target for our setup and observing conditions, but worth a try.
The goal was to create a natural looking RGB athmosphere, because I personally don't like other methods like starless Narrowband with inserted stars on top...
