Description

Sharpless 2-261, also known as Lower’s nebula after its discoverers, is found halfway along Orion’s “raised arm”. For this image I integrated almost twenty-one hours of narrowband data, which I then processed using a dynamic palette inspired by thecoldestnights.com. Additionally, I used 30 minutes of RGB data to give realistic colors to the stars.
