According to the author's own filters and time involved are:
Ha (920m) OIII (890) R (160m) G (160m) B (160m)

Congratulations to Rogelio for this one extraordinary mosaic.

That image of 143 VdB Cepheus, made by Mr. Ratto, must be seen in large size and appreciate and cosmic dust. A very beautiful image.
If there is a "profile of a girl" in M16, sure will also find a "profile of a ape" in M17. Another image also beautiful.

Re: APOD: The Bubble Nebula (2010 Sep 02)

Although it looks delicate, the 10 light-year diameter bubble offers evidence of violent processes. The universe always surprises to me, but years ago when I first saw a photo of this nebula, I was droolling, as it was possible formation of that nature? Now, I know the data of 10 light-years diamet...

Hello Owlice: Your words leave a good taste of inspiration. If Earth was in Cancer from the viewpoint of MESSENGER, there's no way Aldebaran (in Taurus) could possibly be in the same image. It would be far out of the field of view. Getting the scale from this image is difficult. The MESSENGER site c...

Hi Fabrizio:
2600 above sea level is a good height for astrophotography.
You must be very cold, but take away a lot humidiy the environment.
