Description

Object type : emission nebula
Distance : 5,700 lightyears

I shooted this nebula under very bad circumstances. Bad transparancy of the sky, and this nebula is from my home at low altitude. I can only shoot this nebula for about one hour. Fortunately, this nebula doesn't need that much data to get a decent result. Most of the work was post processing, for getting a decent result.
