Hi, these colors are real but not something we can see with our eyes. These colors come from ionized hydrogen(red), oxygen(blue) and sulfur(green) shot with special filters to capture the emissions from those gases. In processing you assign each of those emissions to the RGB channels of an image

No, those objects are literally hundreds of millions of kilometers away, so no movement or anything is observable to the naked eye. Also when you use a telescope to see them, you will not see colors, they only show in long-exposure images

Also, shooting with the monochrome camera makes a huge difference when it comes to capturing subtle details

Thank you very much for your comment! Pixinsight has a very steep learning curve but there is simply nothing like it

Thank you for sharing my image and for kind comment on my work on it. A difficult target for sure, but worth any effort done to capture it

It is a challenging object indeed! But it is so totally worth the effort. I will shoot it again with the monochrome camera and my Celestron EdgeHD with the reducer

That part is amazing. Every time we look into space, we are looking back in time.

You can get started with relatively simple equipment. Even a cellphone on a tripod will allow you to capture great wide-field images of the sky

Indeed. That in itself is mind-blowing

I have gotten more responses to my images here on Bluesky in a couple of days than in years on Facebook. Glad you like them

Every single one of my images was captured by me using my own equipment to capture and process them.
