Description

Sh2-9, also called Gum 65 is combination emission and reflection nebula in the Scorpius constellation, surrounding the multiple star system Sigma Scorpii.
This is a combination of Ha data from my light-polluted suburban location & LRGB from my buddy Blue's darksite in rural Victoria, Australia.

I was surprised by how much dust is present in this region, which doesn't appear on many other images.
So I've attempted to balance the LUM dust with the Ha signal.

It looks pretty cool.
