Description

Hi,

here is my take on the Squid.

This is about 45 hours taken from a Chili observatory (not mine this time).

The red (Ha Signal) is sh2-129, the flying bat nebula. The blue squid nebula (OIII signal) in this image (OU4) was discovered by the French Amateur Astrophotographer Nicolas Outters in 2011. It is very faint. I used a tone mapping process originally described by J-P Metsavainio to bring it out. All the data was collected on my summer road trip to see the total eclipse of the sun.
