Description

I've read that only an O star has photons with enough energy to illuminate a Ha nebula. Knowing that its always fun looking for them. They aren't always visible and it feels like there is one or more hidden near her feet or legs behind a cloud. In fact it is reported that the loops over her head are formed by outflows from young massive stars so lots happening here as the stars come out of their cocoons.

This was a quick processing run from a subset of 80x180s,120xgain, - 5d. I am unhappy with the stars and there are another 40x180s120x from before the meridian flip not included, so I am looking forward to reprocessing this.

Quattro 200mm f4 / ZWOASI294MC / oag / NEQ6 taken with ZWO DUO (Ha+o3) filter.
