My earlier greyscale photo of this nebula was derived from 15 one hour exposures through an H-Alpha filter which were used as the red channel in this color image.. An additional 11 half hour images were taken through an OIII filter for the blue channel. An RGB color image usually uses three different monochrome images.Continue reading “Elephant Trunks Nebula – IC 1396 – Color”

The Horsehead Nebula is located just to the south of the star Alnitak, which is the star that is farthest east onContinue reading “Horsehead Nebula (IC 434)”
