Description

Sh2-54 a region rich in hydrogen alpha gas(green) with some fainter sulphur ii (red/orange) and oxygen iii (blue). This area of sky is located very close to my last image The eagle nebula and hasn’t been imaged very much - hopefully this encourages others to image it as well. Added the starless one too as it really brings out the nebulosity.
