Sharpless 263
SH2-263 is a red emission nebula in the constellation of Orion - famous for its spectacular nebulae. SH2-263 is a rather modest nebula but is associated with a blue reflection nebula which makes the image rather nice.
This is an integration of 20 hours of data shot on a QHY183C OSC camera with a William Optics Zenithstar 103 scope. 10 hours of data was taken with no filter to capture the reflection nebula and another 10 with an Optolong L-eXtreme filter for the Ha emissions. All post-processing was carried out in PixInsight.
