Description

An attempt to capture NGC 6914 reflection nebula and surrounding hydrogen emmission nebula.The blue reflection nebula are cataloged separately (vdB 131 and vdB 132) and together form NGC 6914. This is an incredible region, with a huge amount to explore and discover.

Taken over several evenings including seperated RGB, OIII and Ha data extracted from OSC Data using LeHance amd an LDAS LPS-D1 filters and then recombined. The hope was to get NGC 6914 to really show its blue colour, very difficult over midsummer and a bortle 7/8 sky, decided to call it quits with capturing more data as it was not really adding to overall quality - can just about make out the blue reflection nebula with nearly 14hrs data!

Lessons learned here were to image when not bang smack in the middle of summer. This is another I will have to come back to with greater reach and possible narrowband.

CS and thanks for looking
