Monday, April 27th, 2026 at 2:03:49 PM · 2026/Astrophotography
This astrophotography image captures IC1318A, a prominent emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus. The image was created using narrowband filters (SII, Ha, OIII) combined with broadband RGB and Luminance data, mapped to the SHO palette which produces the characteristic blue, green, and golden hues. The nebula's complex filamentary structure and cloud-like formations are beautifully rendered against the star-studded background. Total integration time was 2 hours using a ZWO ASI533MM Pro monochrome camera on a TMB-92 APO telescope.
