Dark Nebula in Sadr - SHORGB (The Black Velvet Nebula)

[Mr_42tr0nomy]

Hey Folks!!

This dark nebula lies near the star Sadr. A very active region, home to several of our favorite targets to image! This has always been one of my favorite targets but it has evaded me for the past two years. I'm happy I was finally able to put some decent time into it. In the past I had never left the green tones from the HA data in my SHO images. To be frank I used to be highly against any greens in my image.. As of late, that hasn't been the case and I quite enjoy it now. A tasteful touch adds a lot to an image I suppose. Funny how opinions of imaging style and preference start to change over the years... 

I hope you all enjoy!
