Description

A four panel mosaic of this bright and glorious star forming nebula located near one end of a giant molecular cloud in the Monoceros region of the Milky Way.  It has taken a little over two years to collect the data across the four panels, beginning in December 2019 and completing on 1st January 2022 with the final SII subs.  A delight to process and have fun with the NB palette.  I have presented two versions: one with a small amount of retained green and the second with the green removed.  Otherwise identical processing.

There are an even number of subs in each panel and we managed (eventually) to acquire an optimum integration for our system of 24 x 1200s each channel each panel.  Thus each panel has 24 hours comprising 8 hours each filter; giving a total integration of 96 hours.
