Hi everyone, I've just uploaded a picture of M6, the Butterfly cluster in Scorpio. This object is located in the middle of the Milky Way in a field rich of stars and nebulae, being on the edge of the HII complex SH2-12. The link:
M6 and surroundings
The total exposure of about 6 hours in RGB was reinforced with over 4 hours of Ha, highlighting the intense emission of Sh2-12 (only partially visible in the single frame posted). Spikes are added with StarSpikesPro to give, to my taste, more appeal to the cluster (
).
What do you think?
Clear skies
