Data Acquisition Method: Personal Telescope Setup

Image Description and Details: Trying to build a high resolution, deep image of this beautiful and peculiar nebula, I managed to get close to 80H of exposure using narrow-band filters...

The gool was to show the incredible details of those filaments & bubbles and the peculiar bok globule formations, powered by the WR-136 Wolf-Rayet Star...

I opted for an HOO + RGB stars combination, at full camera resolution (60 MPix @ Bin1)
The HOO approach allowed me to match the natural RGB natural color of the nebula

Acquisitions :
Red/Green/Blue: 3×30×60″(30′), for the stars, and for RVB color calibration
H-alpha 6nm: 114×1800″(57h)
OIII 6nm: 44×1800″(22h)

Equipment Details: Cam: ASI6200MM (Fullframe Monochrome)
Optics : C11 edge HD (Corrected Schmidt-Cassegrain)
Mount: 10Micron GM1000 (Equatorial, with absolute encoders)
