About this image

This has been a bit of a project for me as the Rice Hat Nebula is very faint. This narrowband rendering of SH2-224 in the HOO pallette has been captured over 5 nights between 11th November and 3rd January consisting of about 13 hours of data (mostly Ha where all the structure is seen). I'm pleased with the final result although there is very little Oiii showing in the final picture.
