Description

I've always wanted to do this one. This is the second image produced with my new ASI294MM Pro camera, Starizona Apex ED L reducer, and Astrodon 5 nm filters. It was a fun one to process because there is so much structure within the nebula. I chose the HSO color palette rather than my usual SHO because the resulting colors enhance the flame-like appearance of the nebula. Thanks for looking.
