Description

This region around the bluish reflection nebulae contains a lot of domains where young stars are born.

Pier 7 of Roboscopes. It is not easy to order exposures of a remote site when you do not have a good idea of the target. There is no try or error like when you are taking the photo yourself. No way to experiment with exposure times.

I wanted to get out the colours of the stars and the reflection nebulae so I decided to go for RGB and Ha.

In the first version I used RGB = 9*240s for each filter Ha = 14*900s for the L

In the second version I added the Ha layer with enhanced constrast = R, then G and B. The result is quite different.
