Description

Monkey Head nebula in SHO-like palette.

Since my set-up has a very limited field of view, this is a 4-panel mosaic, for a total acquisition time of about 18 hours. Acquisition from urban area in Florence, Italy (Bortle 7/8)

I used a dual narrow-band filter with a color camera, so to have a palette similar to the SHO one I used some of the techniques found in VisibleDark and Light Vortex Astronomy sites/channels.
