Name: Kapunda Aurora

Over looking the quiet country town of Kapunda in South Australia, the aurora dances in all it's beauty.

What a great sight to see! This is why I love capturing photos of the night sky!

The Pillars of Creation

A prominent feature within M16 The Eagle Nebula, the star forming region is located approximately 6500 light years from Earth.

I've captured this image in narrowband - Oxygen III, Hydrogen Alpha and Sulfur II using Baader 6nm filters in front of a ToupTek 585M monochrome camera connected to a Sky-Watcher 300PDS Newtonian Telescope.

Processing this image was a new challenge for me as I wanted to process it in the Hubble Space Telescope palette which produces a beautiful array of colors.

I am looking forward to shooting more deep space images and processing them in this way.
