About this work:
IC 405, Sh2-229 or Caldwell 31, the "Flaming Star Nebula" 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. This composition is very close to a visual spectrum. IC 405 locates in constellation Auriga and it's an emission/reflection nebula. Refelction component can't be seen in my image, since I'm shooting only narrowband data and reflection part is broadband target. Distance from Oulu, Finland, is about 1500 light years. Nebula is about 5 light years across. Total exposure time is about 12h Technical details: Processing work flow: Stacked and calibrated in CCDStack. Deconvolution with a CCDSharp, 30 iterations, 50% mix. Levels, curves and color combine in PS CS3.
