It has been a while since my previous image which was my first Mono Narrowband shot. Main reason for that is moving home, now back to Sydney from the Blue Mountains. This is one of the last shots I captured before my move back into light pollution :( But I am now finally getting some free time to do some processing.

I couldn’t think of a better target to shoot for my second Narrowband image using my new camera. Not many objects are more aptly named than this target, The Dark Wolf Nebula. This was a fun one to image, seeing the wolf head pop out in single Ha subs was exciting!

I really enjoyed processing this shot. RGB stars added to HOO narrowband. Would like to add more OIII to this. At first I didn’t think there was much point but there is some Oxygen out there as hinted by the blue areas in this image.

There are lots of little details in this image that surprised me. One feature I really like is this dust tower which seems to have a young, hot star hidden within, shooting jets out the sides. There also seems to be a bow shock (looks like a funnel) above one of the jets?

Surfing around the image reveals lots of little cool details like this and I really enjoyed seemingly discovering more and more as I processed it.

Thanks for looking and clear skies!
