The blue and red, reflection and emission nebula combo is among my favorite type of object to image in the night sky. NGC 6914 is the blue reflection nebula, with wonderful dark lanes swirling into the red emission nebula so dominant throughout the constellation Cygnus.

I’m starting to limit some of my data collection to RGB, without the luminance channel and find it works pretty well when dealing with colorful nebulae.
