Summary

[edit]
Description

The next biggest prawn in my life besides the iconic Ballina roadside icon (now a Bunnings), IC 4628 is captured here in it’s natural red/pink prawn palette. Using the hydrogen as the main luminance, or detail layer, you can see how far much of the dust and gas go – right to the edges of the frame. A cluster of newborn stars float out of the chaos in the middle where gravitational forces churn the material into these hot, bright new members of the system. 32 x 30s RGB (QHY12 CCD) + 46 x 60s Hydrogen Alpha (QHY9 CCD)
