Description

Sh2-114 aka The Flying Dragon Nebula. This was imaged over three not so good nights. Thin clouds interrupted every night. The best night I was able to capture about 5 hrs. The worst only 2 1/2.

The nebula area emits mostly in ha and broadband red. Very little in blue and green. I used the ha as a lum channel to brighten up the dragon. This also brought the star size and brightness down. The star field is dense and was overwhelming before I added the ha-lum.

HaRGB image.
