NGC6559 9 hours 45 minutes 7 filters

I am quite excited about how this image turned out.

It is 7 filters worth - Luminance, red, green, blue, Ha, O111 and S11.

I took this over nearly a year. TEC180 flourite and Tak NJP mount and used a FLI Proline 16803 with Astrodon Gen 11 filters.

This area has always been a stunning area with lots of colour. I am happy to provide a muted narrowband enhancement to an LRGB image.
It has been processed so the stars were unaffected by the narrowband images.

It seems to have just about every colour in it somewhere. Normally I wouldn't like green showing but I feel it adds something here. It certainly shows the different emissions going on in this area.

This is my favorite image for the last year and one I am most happy with.

9 hours and 45 minutes:
