Description

Sh2-173 also known as the Phantom of the Opera Nebula distinguished by the uniquely shaped Red Mask.

This is my first attempt at combining Ha with RGB filters. I also used 2x2 binning "super pixel" mode on the RGBs. It was a lot of extra effort capturing and processing to achieve the final image but I'm very pleased with the result and will be trying this method again soon on a future target.

Thanks for checking it out.

CS until next time,
Eddie
