I have to admit that I'm really enjoying Narrow Band imaging!
I tried to use pixelmath for blending the mono images but I wasn't satisfied so I decided to use Photoshop using Selective Color Corrections and with some information found on the web I finally get a decent result!
Simpler than Siril Pixelmath because it is faster to adjust image stretching and then paste and copy into respective RGB levels for blending.
It is really nice to see the SHO emissions: a little bit of Scientific informations into an artistic and personal interpretation of an amazing subject.
The Cygnus saga still continue... Stay tuned!
More information about this wonderful nebula.
IC 1318A is a specific part of the larger IC 1318 complex, which is often divided into three sections: IC 1318A, IC 1318B, and IC 1318C. Each section represents a different region of the nebula, distinguished by varying densities of gas and dust as well as unique structures.
Here are some details specific to IC 1318A:
- Appearance: IC 1318A, like the other parts of IC 1318, is characterized by bright emission regions interspersed with dark dust lanes. These dust lanes create striking patterns and contribute to the butterfly-like appearance of the entire complex.
- Structure: IC 1318A is an emission nebula, meaning it contains ionized gases, primarily hydrogen, that emit light. The radiation from nearby young, hot stars ionizes the gas, causing it to glow and producing the nebula's characteristic red and pink hues.
- Star Formation: This region is a site of active star formation. The interaction of radiation from new stars with the surrounding gas and dust can trigger the collapse of gas clouds, leading to the birth of new stars.
- Scientific Interest: Regions like IC 1318A are of significant interest to astronomers studying the processes of star formation and the dynamics of interstellar gas and dust. The varying conditions within different parts of the nebula provide a rich field for investigation.
