The Kaiju Cloud

Hi Folks,

Like one of those big mutant monsters from the movie, 'Pacific Rim' as it emerges from the depths, here we have the "Kaiju cloud".

This Ha rich object is located near NGC 2451 and ó Pup. As there appears to be no O2 present I've instead used N2 & S2 and mapped the image as per the following recipe ...

3nm Ha=Blue 8 hrs 1800 secs
3nm N2= Green 5 Hrs 1800 secs
3nm S2=Red - 5hrs 1200sec Binx2

RGB 15x60sec subs ea

Quite tricky to map the colours and still show three seperate wavelengths as there are all so close together, so all traditional colour maps went out the window! Here is my twist then on "original HST recipe".

Thanks for looking, C&C welcome
