Gas waves in Cignus

By Jordi Zamora Navarro

I took this image from my installation in Nerpio (Spain). There were 54 600-second images with the Ha filter. 126 300-second images with the OIII filter and 96 with the SII filter. The image tube is a TS Optics 70/420 triplet and a QHY268MM camera. I processed it with PinInsight. In the foreground of the image, we see the planetary nebula PK086+05.1. In the center of the image, the planetary nebula PK085+04.1 appears, and in the background, the Sh2-115, all surrounded by gas clouds.
