Flying Bat Nebula (SH2-129) and Giant Squid Nebula (OU4) - 2024-07-14 - HOO Palette

            The Flying Bat is the orange-ish (Hydrogen alpha) semicircle, and the Giant Squid is the blue (O-III) cylindrical object. The Bat was bright, and therefore easier to capture and process. The Squid, however, is just barely brighter than the Bortle 7 sky in my backyard, and was much more difficult to process. The stars were captured separately in RGB.
