Notes: This is my second narrowband project which is the Soul Nebula right next door to the Heart Nebula. The weather wasn't as cooperative this time but I did manage to get most of the image exposures I needed. I got a full six hours of Ha but only managed half that for the OIII and SII filters. Still, it turned out pretty well.

Very beautiful!
Rick,
Ah, I have a question to ask! I probably sound silly...
As I do not have any telescope, I am wondering, when one look into a telescope, will we be able to see the colours like these shown in your images?
Or is it just something like black and white with glitters of some stars? Thanks
Thank you.
When you look through a telescope images appear in black and white and this is also true when you look at images taken with different color filters. When the images are processed in a program like Photoshop the result of the combined image will be in color.
Rick
