CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

Wow how many filters did you use to get that many colours lol. Don't mind me asking, is that how a human eye sees it when looking at it when you're like right infront of it?

These are called "mapped colours" and they are nothing like the colours we see. The colours in the image are far from real colour. By the way, if my guess is correct, if you travel to a nebula, the gases there are so thin, that you wouldn't even know that you arrived at the nebula.
so lets say that when we arrived at a distance from the nebula similar to the distance of the sun from the earth, we would see the same colours as we see through a telescope?

Anyway, all the colors represent different substances in the nebula, so I still think it's a natural beauty. Perhaps those would be the colours seen by a particular type of alien? lol
