• Description: - This is the same image as above but only through the One Shot Colour camera with no added Ha or Oiii exposures. This makes the colour more “natural” but less detailed than the above image. Note that neither of these are really “natural” as most all astrophotos are heavily stretched to reveal colour and detais.
