While making scale studies from various objects, I did make some new panoramas from archived images.
I will publish some of them as an individual images, comments and suggestions are welcome.
Panorama, from IC 1396, the "Elephant's Trunk Nebula" to the Sh2-129
In constellation Cepheus
Image is in HST-palette from an emission of ionized elements, R=Sulfur, G=Hydrogen and B=Oxygen.
Natural color composition from the emission of ionized elements, R=80%Hydrogen+20%Sulfur, G=100%Oxygen and B=85%Oxygen+15%Hydrogen to compensate otherwise missing H-beta emission. Star colors are mixed from the NB channels, Red=H-a, G=O-III and B= 85%O-III + 15%H-a.This composition is very close to a visual spectrum.
There are two individual images used to make this panoramic image:
- IC 1396, http://astroanarchy.blogspot.com/2011/01/ic-1396-reprocessed.html
- Sharpless 129, http://astroanarchy.blogspot.com/2008/03/sh2-129.html
- some data from newer image of Sh2-129, http://astroanarchy.blogspot.com/2011/01/sh2-129-reprocessed.html
