SH2-79
(Sharpless 79
)
Sh2-79 is one of the larger nebula in Aquila and has some nice structure that picks up very well when using the hydrogen-alpha filter. The wide field RGB filters do not do anywhere as well so you need a lot of exposure to pick up good color for the HA-RGB image. There is a very bright area that a larger telescope can pick up and revel nice fine detail. There is a lot of nebula around this object using a wider field of view telescope. I did not pick up any oxygen III so a narrow band color image will not work well here.
