Van Den Bergh 14 & 15, Sharpless 202, Westerhout 5, and Lynds Bright Nebula 654 are names of celestial objects visible in this photograph. I was more interested in the less attractive left side of the Soul Nebula where Sharpless 202, VDB 14 & 15, and 11 were live. To capture a slightly enhanced H-alpha signal from Sharpless I've used an L-enhance filter. This is my first HaRGB photograph, and it was difficult to balance the H-alpha signal without going too far.
I highly recommend investigating finished photos to discover what the camera sensor captured and what is hidden inside and around known objects. I've discovered an additional 11 Sharpless objects, Vdb 11 in addition to Vdb 14 & 15, IC289 planetary nebulae, NGC 1027 open cluster, Fishhead or NGC 896 and numerous LBN and LDN objects. There is blue supergiant HD 21291 (Vdb14), evolved supergiant HD 21389 (Vdb15), and a carbon star Kiso C5-48. Also there is a trace of Webo1, which is barely visible, and one Herbig Haro object HH 163 on the left side of the Soul Nebula. There is also an unidentified emission nebula surrounding HD 21894 or HD 237153 star.
In summary, the photo contains a vast array of celestial objects that make photographing the universe truly amazing.
