Description

That is my first imaging of the impressive Pickering's Triangle. This was shot over three short summer nights with a color camera and a dual narrowband filter. This generous brightness of the object makes it ideal for this combo. I tried to bring out the large portion of weak Ha signal that surrounds the object and that we do not often see on image. 
I am still quite impressed with the result that recent gears allow amateurs to produce. I hope you enjoy it. Please do not hesitate to offer constructive criticism !
Clear skies !
