NGC 6559

 NGC 6559 NGC 6559 is located in the molecular cloud complex in the  constellation Sagittarius next to Messier 8. Modern day astronomers recognize it as an active stellar nursery about 5,000 light-years distant, in the direction of the center of our Milky Way Galaxy.   At the nebula’s estimated distance, the picture spans over 60 light-years. NGC 6559 features a green glowing emission nebula of hydrogen, a  reflection nebula of dust, dark absorption nebulas of dust, and the stars that formed from them. The  image was done with the Planewave DR350 which has a focal length of 1050mm  having a wide field of view and is very fast at f3. The image was done with Sii, Ha, Oiii narrowband filters and using the Hubble palette where sulfur is red, hydrogen is green , and oxygen is blue.  The scale of the NGC 6559 image was doubled using Topaz Giga Pixel.
