A Star Formation Region East of the Lagoon Nebula - RGB


MarsG76

Natural color image of a star forming region east of the Lagoon nebula in the Sagittarius constellation.

Also known as the "Chinese Dragon" nebula because of the small dark nebula in NGC6559 resembling the shape of a Chinese Dragon.

This image was taken with a QHY268M through a doublet 80mm refractor (at 500mm focal length) between 10-16 August 2023.

The total integration time was only 3 hours and 20 minutes of subs, Red (30x120s), Green (30x120s) & Blue (40x120s) subs.
