The Heart & Soul in narrowband colors
This beautiful pair is located in Cassiopeia.
Real names are IC1848 and IC1805, but sometimes
they are called "Heart and Soul"
-
Narrowband color image shows different areas in different colors.
Hydrogen can be seen as Green, Sulfur as Red and Oxygen as Blue.

Here is couple of links to the Wikipedia, if you like to know
more of those objects.

This image has a long and narrow shape becouse
Image is a two panel mosaic.
Unfortunatetly This Blog has a limit with image hight,
image here is a very small version of original high resolution one.

IC1396 as a Stereo Image Pair
Cross Vision version Parallel Vision version
There is some 3D volume in stereo pair image.
It tels something about the "real" nature of those
objects, floating in the three dimensional Space.
This is an artistic visualization.

IC 1396 in H-alpha & OIII light
The home of the famous "Elephants Trunk" Nebula, IC1396is an active
starformation area in Cepheus.After the Veil Nebula I shot 6x1200s trough H-alpha filter and then 3x1200s trough OIII filter. My goal is shoot SII channel as soon as possible and makea narrowband three color image. The Green channel is synthesized from O-III and H-alpha.

IC1396 in narrowband colors
Last night I shot S-II (Sulfur) channel for this nebula.
I previously shot H-alpha (Hydrogen) and O-II (Oxygen), you can see the image,
if you scroll few posts down.
This is a narrowband color composition with mentioned three pands.
Sulfur=Red, Hydrogen=Green and Oxygen=Blue

- "True" nature of exploded stae can be seen in stereogram. Material has spred to the Space as a ball shape formation. Viewing instructions can be found on the right hand side menu.

Veil Nebula in H-alpha & OIII light
Here is an image of leftovers of the massive star
explosion, Supernova.
Colors in image are close to real one, hydrogen is emitting Red
and Oxygen is emitting Blue/Green part of spectrum.
Green channel in image is synthesized from O-III and H-alpha.
