Description

The Cat's Paw Nebula in Scorpio and it's surrounding area.

This is 62 minutes of one shot color and 69 minutes of an extra Luminance layer shot with the same camera but with an H-Alpha filter on a Celestron RASA 11" scope, Losmandy G11 mount.

Initially processed in Nebulosity and then handed off to Photoshop where I employed elements of J-P Metsavainio's "Tone Mapping Process". I fooled around with the color channels some as well which is why it came out turquoise but I dug it so I left it. They don't ALL have to be red!
