Description

Capturing the Omega Nebula, also known as the Swan Nebula, Checkmark Nebula, and the Horseshoe Nebula which is an H II region in the constellation Sagittarius and a dense starfield within the Milky Way. A few challenges with the Ha data to a satisfactory level - in the end had to use DeepSkyStacker because was losing too much colour and richness. Used Pixinsight for all the RGB data and for combining the Ha and RGB using PixelMath. Distance 5 to 6k light years.
