Sh2-155 Cave Nebula

Here is an image of the region around Sh2-155, Cave Nebula. It shows numerous other nebula such as vdB155. In my continuing quest to find dust nebula I have processed this image so the faint dust clouds may be seen. This is another hybrid image, combining data from a 12" astrograph (Lum ,Ha) and 4" astrograph (RGB). Since clear nights are few this year I have gone to imaging with two setups at the same time -- different mounts. That way I can get more data on any given night.

Beautiful image Tom!

This is a very complex looking area,your processing,as always really brings out all the different features so well.

I have a question for you,How did you get color in the diffraction spikes?

As usual very nice work,
