Description

Tulip Nebula with a Bi-Color palette and RGB stars. I have to say this has been the absolute worst summer since I have started imaging! Clear skies are pretty much nonexistent! I am really looking forward to fall and perhaps better skies. We shall see though! LOL! And yes, it took from June all the way through August to collect enough data to have something to process. Most nights I had to toss lots of frames from clouds. Anyways, happy to post an image finally. Thanks for looking 😊!
