Description

The Squid Nebula is a faint nebula (seen as a bluish squid), inside a hydrogen alpha region that resembles a flying bat. The squid was not discovered until 2011 due to its faint brightness. This image has 29 hours of Ha, 50 hours of Oiii, and 4 hrs of RGB used for star color. I also took about 20 hours of Sii but could not figure out how to enhance the image by adding Sii.
