Description

El velo del oeste es todo un clásico de las astrofotografías del verano, sin embargo, es poco habitual verlo en una paleta SHO, a pesar de que es rico en SII. Lo normal es verlo en HOO, con ese contraste entre el rojo vivo y el azul intenso. Sin embargo, usar un SHO nos permite observar esta sección del bucle del cine de forma diferente.

La imagen ha sido tomada desde un Bortle 6-7 y desde el principio tuve claro que quería obtener ese fondo que no es habitual observar, ese medio arco en la parte superior izquierda que a mí me da la impresión, en especial por esos dos cuernos tan marcados, de que es como una capa de polvo que se ha ido desprendiendo y alejando del cuerpo principal.

Tengo un cielo bastante reducido, solo veo una porción que va del noroeste al suroeste y los cambios de meridiano son una hermosa utopía que desde casa no puedo disfrutar, así que he necesitado 8 noches para capturar las veintitrés horas que conforman esta imagen. Por supuesto, las estrellas están tomadas en RGB.

Espero que os resulte tan interesante y diferente como a mí.

The western veil is a classic in summer astrophotography. However, it is rare to see it in a SHO palette, even though it is rich in SII. It is usually seen in HOO, with that contrast between bright red and deep blue. However, using a SHO allows us to look at this section of the cine loop in a different way.

The image has been taken from a Bortle 6-7 and from the beginning I had clear that I wanted to get that background that is not usual to observe, that half arc in the upper left that to me gives me the impression, especially for those two horns so marked, that it is like a layer of dust that has been detached and moving away from the main body.

I have a rather reduced sky, I only see a portion that goes from northwest to southwest and the meridian changes are a beautiful utopia that from home I cannot enjoy, so I have needed 8 nights to capture the twenty-three hours that make up this image. Of course, the stars are taken in RGB.

I hope you find it as interesting and different as I do.
