The original image was captured using a telescope in Chile, part of the Telescope Live network. I obtained monochrome images taken with Luminance, Red, Green and Blue filters from Telescope Live and processed them using PixInsight and Photoshop to produce this final image. During the processing phase, I utilized the LRGB combination to achieve the desired colors. The original size of this image is 3056×3056 pixels with a 0.62 arcsec/px.

This image won the Telescope Live Astronomy Picture of the Day contest.
