Description:

I have lost count of how many times I have imaged and processed this wonderful nebula in the constellation Cepheus. This time, however, I wanted to do it justice by showing it in all its beauty with colors as natural as possible. In fact, I integrated many shots taken in broadband and added very little H-alpha from last year (I used a BoostFactor = 0.1, for the more technical) to accentuate the weaker external areas. The result is this HaRGB composition, which personally satisfies me a lot, which highlights very colorful and fascinating areas, such as the blue and orange ones in the head of the dark globule.
