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.
Cygnus panorama
A panorama from the Butterfly to the Crescent Nebula in constellation Cygnus.
Image is in HST-palette from an emission of ionized elements, R=Sulfur, G=Hydrogen and B=Oxygen.
Note. Size of the full Moon is marked as a gray circle, at lower Right corner, for a scale.
There are two individual images used to make this panoramic image:
- Butterfly Nebula, http://astroanarchy.blogspot.com/2011/01/butterfly-nebula-reprocessed.html
- Crescent Nebula, http://astroanarchy.blogspot.com/2011/01/ngc-6888-crescent-nebula-wide-field.html
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 is a third overlapping image from the same area, the "Tulip Nebula". I have a panoramic image containing it as well. I like this panorama but it's so long, that image gets very small, so I didn't place it as a main image in this post.
A long and narrow version, with the "Tulip Nebula"

All images in this page have been part of an older mosaic, the "Cygnus Trio"
It was my very first APOD (Astronomy Picture Of Day) published by NASA.
