Adding narrow-band data to the Soul Nebula Mosaic Project

I was able to add a first batch of narrow-band data to my mosaic project of the Soul Nebula.

The aka is an emission nebula in about 7500 light years away. The center of the nebula is being carved out by radiation emitted by stars found there. This creates finger-like plumes of gas, called "pillars of creation", that can be seen along the edges. The gas is increasingly compressed to form new stars at the end of the plumes. This image is 70 five-minute exposures (5 hours and 50 minutes).

Good evening creatures of Mastodon. This is my first effort of IC1848. Never imaged it before so quite pleased with the way it's turned out. But this target has so much more to give I feel. I'll refine my processing skills and next time concentrate a bit more on framing 😉.
