Description

By far the toughest image I've ever shot and could still use a lot more time. These nebulae lie about 2,300 light years away in the constellation Cepheus. The blue-green Squid nebula is the result of doubly ionized oxygen atoms while the reddish Flying bat nebula is the result of hydrogen emissions.
