Sh2-101 Tulip Nebula in HST palette

[Dave Smith]

Two clear nights. This consists of 4 hours of Ha in 10 min subs and 60 mins of OIII and SII in 10min subs binned 2x2.

I am really not very sure about the colours but this will do for now.
Chris Heapy on UKAI pointed out that I had captured the bow shock wave from Cygnus X-1. Just to the right of the tulip are two stars one above the other and quite bright. The lower one is the position of Cyg X-1 and the shock wave can be seen just above that.



There is also what a club mate of mine call the Baby Dinosaur nebula to the left - with a good set of teeth

Looking good there. Colours look very "moody". Nice.

That is truly magnificent Dave   I don't think I've got that one in my collection.  If I have it's nothing like that

Very spectacular image. The colours seem to add energy to the whole system. I like it a lot.

Many thanks everyone for you kind comments.
