IC1274 - IC4685 Region

Here is some color for the fourth of July. I did a two frame mosaic of this region. It's not as colorful as the Rho-Ophiucus region, but I think it is a close second.

I also have individual halves for inspection. I mis-aligned the frames a little when I took the data so the framing on the mosic is not ideal. The individuals have more width to them.

Full size images are here:

Those are all very nice, Jim! While I'm enjoying false-color narrow-band imaging, I'd like to try my hand at blending in RGB into my H-alpha data some day.

Thanks everyone for your comments...

Eric,
This is a case of "the grass is greener on the other side" I would love the opportunity and the processing challeneges of some of the narrow band imaging you are doing.
