Description

The somewhat uncommonly imaged hydrogen-alpha region in Cygnus, NGC 1318B, including the Butterfly Nebula. This is an HSO = RGB = 116:60:60 180s subs captured over several nights using an AT80EDT, unguided, on a Paramount MyT. The camera was a ZWO ASO 1600MM Pro with Astronomik 6nm narrowband filters. It was hard to find much range in the color since the strong Ha signal dominated the other two narrowband channels.
