Description

Another Southern hemisphere gem, the Prawn Nebula located in the Sagittarius arm of the Milky Way.

The final image comprises of two 30-hour sets of data captured by my friend Martin Pugh in Australia.   The first with an Astro-Physics RH305 telescope, the second at a higher resolution with a Planewave CDK17 for the nebula area, all of which I blended together.

I tried out J-P Metsavainio’s tone mapping method to combine the narrow band channels which balances these very well.
