Description

This image highlights the outer arch of Sh2-171. I'm sure it must have it's own ID number but I couldn't find one.

The data for this has been sitting untouched for a year on my hard drive so it was time to process it. I felt that this object had a dark, moody emotion to it. To preserve that, I purposely kept the lightness down and tried not to oversaturate it. I processed several “normal” versions of this but I kept gravitating back to the dark one.

The image is a HaSHO stack.
