Description

Deep into SH2-171, or one side of NGC7822.  This is an emission nebula in Cepheus.  I love going deep into these to bring out the pillars and the stellar wind dust structures.  The other side is just as interesting, but will probably have to wait till next year...not many clear skies lately.    This image is a fairly straight SHO palatte mapping with 80% of the green removed (SCNR green minimum neutral), and a bit of hue curves.  I used Ha as lum.  The stars are pseudo RGB from the SHO data.  I did not reduce or de-emphasis the stars.  Imaged from my backyard and also Mt Pinos.
