Monoceros R2
Monoceros R2 is a molecular cloud in our Milky Way about 2700 light years away. New stars are forming in the dark dust lanes.
This image is an integration of multiple 240 second exposures shot separately with Optolong R, G and B filters. Total integration time for each colour channel was over 10 hours. The camera was a QHY163M and the scope was a William Optics FLT110 with Flat4, mounted on a Skywatcher AZ EQ6 GT. Image sequencing was managed by SGP and PHD2, post-processing was carried out in PixInsight with a final run through Topaz DeNoise AI.
Observed from Prachinburi, Thailand.
