A project that took quite a bit to edit all together.

I used a combination of filters of Hydrogen, oxygen and sulphur, together with RGB, 2 telescopes and 2 camera's to create this image, mixing a "Hubble colour palette" and the RGB together to create this mix of colour.



I had to collect a lot of data to try and get the microquasar Cygnus X-1 curve in the frame, which is slightly above and to the right of the tulip nebula ,where you can see an arc created by the effects a black hole “Cygnus X-1” is having on a nearby star. A black hole believed to be about 21 times the mass of the sun, but only about 50-300km wide.
