This is essentially a mono image with a 5nm Ha (650nm) filter that has been colorized roughly to what the human eye would perceive (red 650nm wavelength light) with RGB stars added. The image is able to be zoomed in quite a bit revealing star additional detail of Bok globules and stars, such as the smaller ones in the center, clustered around MZA-19. The strands reaching toward the center are Bok globules comprised of small, dense, dark clouds of gas.
Below is an outline of the equipment used and workflow in Pixinsight. I’m happy to answer any questions 🙂
