Description

Located in the constellation Cygnus, the ‘brain’ nebula is an impressive explosion of stellar winds shed from the central star Wolf-Rayet, signalling the changing phases of its life.⁣

We are star dust.⁣

Here’s a re-edit of data I captured across 10 nights between June and August, with only a single night in July limited by the blanketing smoke from wild fires across the region.⁣

This time I went with a more true to the human eye palette of  Ha+HaOiii+HaOiii. Blended in true colour RGB stars for good measure. I hope you like it! 

⁣34hr 31min⁣ total exposure time
