Description

Here is an image that I was able to capture over the last week. The target is a section of Sh2-261 (aka Lower's Nebula or Sharpless 261). It can be found in the constellation Orion near the border of Gemini. Sh2-261 is a large faint region of predominantly ionized hydrogen.  I wanted to try this using an HOO color palette.
