Description

Emission nebula SH2-115 and planetary nebula Abell 71.
This object was a lot fainter than I expected and required a fair few hours of exposure. Even then I had to push the processing and the colour quite hard to achieve a result I was pleased with. The blue part  of the nebula is strong in OIII and I love the way the wispy Ha and SII regions pass in front  giving an impression of depth to the image. Also my first use of Russ Croman's BlurXTerminator which is nothing short of amazing.
