Description

Difficult post processing on a nebula with very low OIII radiation. Finally, maintaining 50% green after fusion of the Ha, OIII and SII layers in an RGB image made it possible to highlight a magnificent relief and the fluorescence resulting from a giant blue star: Menkib.

20 x Ha 180 sec

20 x OIII 300 sec 

20 x SII 300 sec
