Sh2-155 in HST palette (more OIII and reprocess)

Post by Paramount »

Hi
I managed to get out to add some more OIII data to this, I was hoping to get some more SII as well but the weather has turned again. This is now 8x30 minutes SII, 12x30 minutes Ha and 19x30 minutes OIII. I have also reprocessed it from the ground up to produce a more pleasing image (less greens). Hope you like it, will try and get some more SII in the next couple of weeks. The previous version can be seen on my website http://www.imagingtheheavens.co.uk
A full size version can be seen at the following link

Thanks for looking
Best wishes
Gordon

Hi
Thanks for the comments, I've had a look elsewhere on the Internet but can't find any reference to that region in the image you mentioned but looking at it and seeing that there are several stars in close proximity to glowing nebula I would say it is a region of star formation with new hot stars or an area of intense emission
Hope this helps
Best wishes
