Description

A project that took quite a bit to edit all together.
I used a combination of Ha, Oiii, Sii and RGB, 2 scopes and 2 camera's to create this image, mixing a Hubble palette and RGB together. 

The "core" of the tulip nebula was shot with:
Skywatcher Esprit 80ED
ZWO ASI 183MM
Optolong narrowband filters


The surrounding area was shot with
William optics Redcat 51
ZWO ASI 183MC
Optolong L-Extreme

And blended everything together to create this multi colour/multi palette image.
Had to collect a lot of data to try and get the microquasar Cygnus X-1 curve in there.
