Photo description / processing
The Squid Nebula (Ou4) and the Bat Nebula (Sh2-129) in the constellation Cepheus.
The object is very faint but beautiful and interesting. This version has a golden-gray tone; there are also versions with white and just bicolor, but a poll in the group showed that most people prefer this one.
Captured 50 km from Rostov-on-Don over 9 nights. Processed in PixInsight and Photoshop, without AI plugins.
P.S. The stars were also captured with the Askar, just through a mask — I like it better this way.
