NGC6559:2017 Q163 Hyperstar Mosaic(Panel#3)+ 2024 Widefield RGB
I used data from 2017 flic.kr/p/WAQ6sz and recent images flic.kr/p/2q3b8zP to create this image.
QHY163+11" Celestron w/Hyperstar
L-40x30sec
RGB- 15x30sec
Ha-20x120sec
Located near the well known Messier 8, NGC 6559 is located slightly above the center of this image. It is a reflection(blue) and emission nebula(red), located 5000 light years away in the constellation of Sagittarius. Towards the left of center is the emission nebula IC 4685. A dark nebula, resembling a river, runs through IC 4685. Directly below these nebula is the emission and reflection nebula IC1274. Many other dark nebula, emission nebula and reflection nebulas are also seen in the image.
