Ic1274

I have imaged this area a few times over the years. Most times I focused on NGC6559 which is the small dark nebula which looks a bit like the horse head. However on this occasion I decided to have IC1274 as the main part of the image. It has those lovely tendrils of blue reflection nebula wafting over the hydrogen gas. I also initially contemplated cropping out NGC6559 but decided the whole image looked better with it included.

The image contains 30 hours of integrated data. About 10 hours was Ha, about 6 hours of OIII and about 7 hours of luminance. The balance in RGB.
