Description

I already made a nice RGB picture of the heads of the dragons when I was in Namibia last year. Because of the stunning reflection nebulae located in this area, it got one of my favorite pictures. This year, with the hyperstar on my edge 11 I decided for a two frame mosaic of the full nebula. For supporting the OIII region around the egg, I managed some exposures through the very good optolong OIII filter 3nm with the colorcam. Overall I am very happy with the result and hope you like it too.

best, Christoph
