Description

The Tulip nebula is another nice objects to get experience with narrowband and SHO at large focal length. Main problem is that nebula emission extends much further than the size of the image, so a reasonable background extraction is difficult - on the next occasion I need to get some wider field image so to do multiscale background extraction. So take the corners with a grain of salt. Regarding the color composition, I find a combination of 50-70% pf foraxx's dynamic narrowband combination (www.thecoldestnights.com) with 30-50% straight SHO to give quite nice results without the need to too radically eradicate green. 

Data were taken on August 11,12,14,16, and 17
