SH2-301/Gum 5 Tiny HII nebula

[Flugel88]

Here is Sh2-301also known as Gum5 or RCW6 from Canis Major.
Not all that spectacular but a little different.
I'm very happy with the stars turning out nice with no manipulation added except deconed.

I wanted to get more data for this but its getting to late in the season.
Was my first attempt at blending Ha with RGB.
Seeing was not all that great bouncing from 3 to 4 arcs.

I measured it to be around 11' x 11' but i think it extends a bit to the south east of my image need more FOV to get it all.

10x30min HA (12nm)
5x 20min RGB of each
Darks bias and flats added

Nice Michael, great star colour. I love the two approaching headlights between the bright stars to the left.

Sure are bright blue stars that stand out from the others.



Not sure why it went magenta just happened when i added the HA it went a dull very light red then i had to pump up the colour to get it back and it ended up magenta:P

I like how you managed to present, in a harmony, dimmer nebulosity and nicely coloured bright stars :thumbsup:
