Description

This is a representative color mosaic of images taken by Shoeburyness High School using Faulkes Telescope North in October 2011. I compiled the mosaic using Montage (NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive) with final compositing in The GIMP. There is a bit of mis-alignment. The red channel shows images taken with the H-alpha filter and the blue channel is from the OIII filter (which is green but tinting it blue made for a more natural looking image).
