Description

This is a bi-color version of the Bat Nebula, NGC6995...part of the Eastern Veil Nebula. The colors in this image are captured through very narrowband filters that only pass through the light of glowing hydrogen (hydrogen-alpha) and doubly ionized oxygen (OIII). The red shows the hydrogen and blue shows the oxygen. In this rendition, the star colors are not correct, but I have images captured in red, green and blue that I will layer in to make the star colors accurate. In any case, while not strictly a faithful reproduction of the scene as one would see it naturally, it is a scientifically useful image as one can now see the detail of the two gases that make up the majority of the nebula
