IC 1274/1275/4684/4685, NGC 6559 – Nebulae in Sagittarius – SHO w/RGB Stars v1

An assortment of nebulae in Sagittarius, very close to the well-photographed Lagoon, thus sort of completing the Lagoon footprint, which made me come up with this nickname.

This is a narrowband (SII, H-alpha, OIII) plus RGB image. For rendering the NB data, I used the “Foraxx” palette described in The Coldest Nights blog along with other techniques. Worked rather well, a pure SHO approach would yield a very green image. Stars are color-calibrated RGB.

Emission and reflection nebulae in this field: IC 1274/1275/4684/4685, NGC 6559

The strange object below and right of NGC 6559 is the planetary nebula PN M 1-41
(RA 18 09 30.10, DEC -24 12 26.0)

NGC 6723 Chandelier Cluster in Sagittarius and Corona Australis Molecular Cloud – LRGB v1

One of most beautiful region in the southern skies, the Corona Australis Molecular Cloud with the NGC 6726 and IC 4812 reflection nebulae and nearby Chandelier Cluster NGC 6723. The later belongs to Sagittarius, though.

NGC 6589/90 and Surroundings in Sagittarius – SHO w/RGB Stars v1

A 2 panel mosaic of SHO data in Sagittarius, the reflection nebulae NGC 6589/90 and Surroundings, in particular the emission nebulae IC 1283 und IC 1284. NGC 6590 also seems to be cataloged as NGC 6595.
