Description

Bicolor widefield image of SH2-142 with my mono Canon 60D, CEM40, and AT60ED w/ 0.8x reducer. The scope doesn't have enough focal length to get any reasonable detail in the nebula itself, so I tried to get a bit of the surrounding H-a glow. Unfortunately my OIII data was poor and overwhelmed by the H-a signal, and I'm not very good at processing narrowband images.

For this image, H-a was mapped to red, OIII to blue, and a synthetic green channel derived from the H-a and OIII channels. It's very red, but I kind of like the rich color.
