Description

The Tulip nebula in ShoTo be honest I almost gave up on this one. Narrowband imaging and processing has not been quite as rewarding as I thought it would be. I am thinking of throwing it all out the window and just doing LRGB….But then I think I finally got a colour combination I loved….The tulip nebula is located in the heart of the Milky way in the constellation Cygnus and is an emission nebula full of Ionized Hydrogen. This image also contains the location of a suspected black hole Cygnus X-1 .
