Description

Sh2-124 is an emission nebula in Cygnus between North America and Elephant's Trunk.  The named object is only the bright central core but emission spans a much larger region of the galaxy.
9 x Hydrogen-alpha, 10 x Oxygen III, 5 x Sulphur II mixed as HOO with sulphur added as yellow.  Very little OIII and SII, just enough to turn some areas white and balance the star colors.  Stars slightly reduced in AstroPixelProcessor.
