ic4628 in HaLRGB and SHO from Atacama

[APO_Team]

Hi everyone !

Here are two pictures from the Dzeta star area in the Scorpius constellation.
There is an HaLRGB version in "normal" colors and a SHO version, in narrowband filters. This one is perfect to see planetary nebulae :P

By the way, we've added some notes on this last one to show you some planetary nebulae and specially two of them we've discovered with Matthias Kronberger: DeGaPeKn1 et DeGaPeKn2 :) :thumbsup:
