SH2-240, the Spaghettis Nebula

[Comet Hunter]

Original taken Christmas Eve 2022. Just reprocessed to try to sharpen the colors.
This year I will try my hand at a mosaic for the 1st time to capture the entire nebula.

Fascinating shapes and colors in this nebula. Looking forward what you do with this on your next effort.

 

[Douglas Sherman]

That is really interesting. I like the overlapping layers.

Ed, you are making me jealous! What an awesome rework. The Spaghetti nebula is one my list big time. I tried capturing it last winter but had bad results. So I want to get it again, but I will have to probably do a mosaic too as I don't have anything wide enough to get more then a part of it.

 

[Mike Lewis]

Yes, like Jim said, great work on this very difficult target. I have wanted to image this for quite a while, but the extremely low signal coupled with the very large size has so far prevented me from getting anything. You have a very nice result shown here.
