Description

My first go at Narrow band  from Hydrogen Oxygen and Sulfur filters. The celestial wonder never cracks the sky from my southern Latitude .it reminds me of the Running chicken nebula .
This high quality  data is  magnanimously provided free to all by Lucomatico.  Luke Newbould - www.youtube.com/lukomaticohttps://www.astrobin.com/users/LukeNewbould/  Luke has a great tutorial on how to process it  from start to finish!! He sent such an encouraging email back to me in short order !!
I am liking the colour riot that Narrow band provides. If like me, your sky conditions  are stopping  what we love doing , jump over to Luke's YouTube site and have a go.
Awe and wonder folks !!
