Description

I included two images ,a close-up of NGC 7538 and a wider field of view. I captured this in narrowband. All three filters were strong in the core area of the Norther Lagoon, but SII seemed particularly weak outside of the core area so I divided the Red Channel between between SII (50%) and Ha (50%). I put Ha in Green (100%) and OIII in Blue (100%).

This nebula is located very close to the Lobster Claw (Sh2-157) and the Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635).

All of the data was captured in October, 2019.

Astronomik Ha: 135x240" (gain: 139, offset: 21)

Astronomik OIII: 86x240" (gain: 75, offset: 15)

Astronomik SII: 105x240" (gain: 139, offset: 21)

Integration: 21.73 hours
