Description

NGC 55 is an irregular galaxy located nearly 6.5 million light-years away in the constellation of Sculptor. I wanted to capture the emission nebulae star forming regions in high resolution, which are seen in red, by using a Hydrogen alpha filter in addition to the standard natural color (LRGB filters). HA = 56 x 30 min Luminance = 115 x 5 min Red = 46 x 5 min Green = 47 x 5 min Blue = 44 x 5 min. If you need help setting up your own telescope for astrophotography, or have image processing and telescope automation questions feel free to contact me. www.mattdieterich.com
