Cone/Foxfur region in Ha, [SII] and Blue

by Richard Crisp


I have been enjoying getting an hour or two of imaging time the past few nights (except for Saturday of course).

One of the targets I have been shooting is the Cone/Foxfur region. I use Halpha, [SII] and instead of [OIII] which I found none of, I used Blue to capture that bit of reflection nebulosity near the bright star in the middle.

I've been planning to use this combination of filters on objects with both emission and reflection nebulosity for some time. This is really the first time I got the results I was seeking.
