Description

NGC 2467 – Talk about Tumultuous!

OTA: PlaneWave 17” f/6.8
Camera: FLI ML16803
Observatory: Deep Sky West, Chile

EXPOSURES:……L,S,H,O,R,G,B for a total of 31 hrs of exposure

Image Width: 38.5 arc-minutes
Processed by Alex Woronow (2022) using PixInsight, Topaz, Photolemur, SWT

The giant loops, stringy dark clouds, spherical ionized clouds, and sharp shock fronts attest to the massive star-forming events in this young cloud. Its age, according to ESO scientists does not exceed a few million years.

For this image, I extracted the narrowband components from their continuum spectra and used those components for a true-color rendering. That isolated narrowband-emission-lines, combined with a bit of the L information, became the Luminosity component of the image, carrying much of the structural information.

The posted image has about ¼ the pixel count of the original.

Hope you find the image interesting….
Alex
