Remarks:

In order to enhance the very low color shade of this nebula, which emits light mainly in Ha, the saturation was tuned up strongly.

Image processed with CCD-Sharp and digital development (DDP).

 

 

Bemerkungen:

Um die sehr schwachen Farbnuancen dieses vorwiegend im Ha-Licht scheinenden Nebels hervorzuheben, wurde die Farbsättigung stark angehoben.

Das Bild wurde mit Hilfe von CCD-Sharp und "digital development" (DDP) bearbeitet.
