Photo Text
On the page opposite page we have the Rosette
nebula in Monoceros. The true colour of this object is
mainly red but this image has been taken with narrow
band filters and processed in the so called
“hubble palette” a false colour representation used by
the Hubble Space Telescope to show Hydrogen (Gold),
Oxygen (Blue) and Sulphur (Green) rich regions.
To the right are the flame and horse head nebula in
Orion. The horse head is a dark nebula which shands
out in long exposure images due the the red H Alpha
region behind in.
