Description

I used the last moonless night for this portrait of the stunning reflection nebula in IC 405. Combining the color data of my TS 2600 CP and H alpha data taken with my ASI 6200, I could achieve this view, which I am quite happy with regarding my polluted night sky near Frankfurt. In addition I forced the blue with some subs using a blue filter with the color cam. This worked really good. The shape of the blue reflection nebula somehow reminds me on a scorpion. Can you see it too. Hope you like it. 

Cheers, Christoph
