About this image

A quick play with colour imaging this fascinating nebula. Shows the reflection nebula is pink rather than blue: The light illuminating it is reddened by dust. Also shows lots of satellite trails in the images, all taken just before the start of twilight(!).

Images taken with iTelescope T21. Luminance data 12th April, RGB data on 8th and 9th April. Image at 50% original size.
