Sh2-199 (Soul Nebula)

I have been subscribing to data from the Deep Sky West (DSW) Observatory for some time. DSW is located in New Mexico and offers several fully equipped systems. One of the data sets I received, was data from the emission nebula Sh2-199 with the open cluster IC1848, located in the constellation Cassiopeia.

The images were taken with the following equipment:

Data calibration and registration and the final processing was done with PixInsight. First I created an image in the Hubble palette:

The [SII] data was assigned to the red channel, the Hα data to the green channel and the [OIII] data to the blue channel.

The result was as follows:

Then I created also a bicolor image:

For the nebula I assigned the Hα data to the red channel and the [OIII] data to the green and blue channel. For the stars I assigned the Hα data to the red channel, 50% of Hα and 50% of [OIII] to the green channel and [OIII] to the blue channel.

The result was as follows:
