Description

APOD 29 July 2021: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap210729.html

I am pleased to introduce you to the Tulip Nebula. Sh2-101. In the swan.
Image made in Hubble palette. Accumulating 45 hours of exposure, in 60 sub-shots of 15 minutes for each filter (Ha, OIII, SII).

The photograph is taken from the skies of Ager, through my remote observatory.
The equipment used consists of a Takahashi FSQ106 telescope, an ATIK460EX MONO CCD, a Paramount ME mount, and 31mm astrodon filters.
The capture program has been SGPro, and the processed Pixinsight and Photoshop.

The image shows the cygnus X1 shock arc. A powerful black hole that we can observe thanks to the force it makes and causing that arc. Is awesome.

Without further ado, I hope you like the image made.
Thanks!!!
