Description
Located between the constellations Orion and Gemini, this large, colorful nebula is an excellent narrowband target. It is rich in red hydrogen, red sulfur, and blue oxygen, so the data is easy to work with. I captured this image from late September through early November. My camera is monochrome, so I captured the three emissions separately through different filters and then combined them in post-processing. Many edits (including a previous capture of mine) will only use the hydrogen and oxygen emissions, but the sulfur is also strong, so I included it.
