Sharpless panorama, Sh2-216, 217, 219, 221 and BFS44

A natural color composition from the emission of ionized elements, R=80%Hydrogen+20%Sulfur, G=100%Oxygen and B=85%Oxygen+15%Hydrogen to compensate otherwise missing H-beta emission. Star colors are mixed from the NB channels, Red=H-a, G=O-III and B= 85%O-III + 15%H-a.This composition is very close to a visual spectrum.



There are two individual images used to make this panoramic view:

Right side, http://astroanarchy.blogspot.com/2011/02/sh2-216-project-finalized.html



This image covers over six degrees of sky horizontally, that's 12 full Moons side by side. Here is a "scale study out of this target, the Moon is marked as a gray circle:
