Description

I have wanted to capture this nebula for quite some time. After looking at many options, I decided to do it in HOO palette, to get a "haze" effect and contrast with the hydrogen zones.

During 2 nights I captured this nebula until midnight from a bortle 2 sky, where I traveled 1:40 hours away from the city.

I chose this framing for the similarity of seeing a wolf howling, I liked it very much.

The stars were 20 second exposures for a total of 1 hour.
