Description

Last night capture of RGB to add to my previous H-alpha from a few days ago and this is the result for the Twiddlebug Nebula which is mysteriously couched at the milky way's edge in a very dense starfield.

The nebula - at 5900 LY - is a HII Ionized region in the constellation of Sagittarius which is situated close to the celestial equator allowing it to be partly visible from both hemispheres in certain times of the year.  It is overhead for us at around 20h00 at this time of the year.

HA captured with ASI294MM and RGB with the ASI294MC - combined with NBRGB Combination script in Pixinsight.
