Photograph - Digital Photography
Description
The sky images are a series of frames “stacked” to reduce the digital “noise” often created in low light long exposure shooting. On this night there was some pretty crazy “air glow” in the sky. Air glow, AKA “nightglow” is light emitted in the upper atmosphere by self illuminating gases that are present there. The airglow is the greenish haze you see. The reddish colors around Orion are caused by hydrogen alpha emissions from the nebulae in the area and are captured with the help of my “astro-modified” camera that wherein the filter that blocks such light, which is undesirable in most photography has been removed.
