Sharpless 278

Sharpless 278 is an emission nebula in Orion, rather overshadowed by the nearby bright star Rigel and the other fabulous nebulae in that constellation.

This image is an HaRGB integration of data captured with a William Optics FLT110 telescope and a QHY163M monochrome camera. In total there is about 8 hours of Ha data taken with a 3nm Antlia Pro filter and 6 hours in each of the RGB channels using Optolong filters. Image acquisition was managed with Sequence Generator Pro and PHD2, all post-processing was carried out in PixInsight.

Observed from Prachinburi, Thailand.
