Description

SH 2-171 is the current CN imaging challenge. It is a fun little exercise to get introduced to a variety of targets in the night sky. It is 3000 light years away in the constellation Cepheus. This was a two panel mosaic given the image scale to be able to capture more of this emission nebula. I processed the image in both the SHO Hubble Palette and Foraxx palette utility in PI, which is now a favorite tool of mine. I was not too agressive with the SCNR in the traditional SHO because it felt fitting for this target.
