Description

Sh 2-240, the Spaghetti Nebula, with Sii and Oiii added to the Ha data from last month. I started with a base blue-gold Hubble palette SHO mapping, then reddened up the gold shades a bit as it kind of reminded me of one of those old translucent / iridescent glass Christmas tree ornaments if you rotate it 90 deg CCW. Or a teapot.

33 x 600s Ha

16 x 900s Oiii

13 x 900s Sii
