Description

This image was captured in late June 2023 with an ASI2600mm Pro through an AstroTech 80ED on an EQ6-R Pro mount.

The image comprises:

Ha:      36   x   180s
R:        10   x   180s
G:        10   x   180s
B:        10   x   180s

Total integration time was thee hours and 18 minutes. The image was processed in Pixinsight and Photoshop.

This is my first attempt (and a short one at that) at capturing this target - an object that I was completely unaware of until I spotted so many images of it on Astrobin (still so much to learn!).

Also known as Simeis 57, the Propeller Nebula is an emission nebula in Cygnus. It is part of the a much larger nebular complex called Cygnus X. The entire region around the nebula is rich in emission nebulosity.
