IC2177 And Friends
http://www.buckeyestargazer.net
Copyright: Joel Short

Although having the appearance of a traditional RGB image, this image of IC2177 consists mostly of narrowband Ha and OIII data (3hrs and 5hrs respectively), with just 40min each of RGB. Using careful blending techniques in PixInsight, the narrowband contribution allowed the image to have good contrast and signal and the RGB contribution allowed for a traditional RGB appearance and color balance.

When i went home by train today i could observe a phenomenon which was completely new to me.
A sun pillar! It is light from the sun which is reflected by ice crystals. This one was a strong one!
Unfortunately i had just my iphone 7 plus with me and had to take photos through the windows of the train..
