A Visual Masterpiece

This artwork showcases a mesmerizing view of the Cone Nebula, where the colorful clouds of gas and dust resemble a genie being released from a bottle. The vastness of this celestial wonder is awe-inspiring—light takes over 60 years to traverse its expanse.

Each detail in this poster invites to explore the universe's complexities, making it not only perfect decor but also an ideal conversation starter.

Unique Artistic Choices

Steve Leonard’s expertise shines through in this piece, as he employs creative processing techniques to bring out the beauty of narrowband imaging.

Unlike traditional images, which often use a standard color mapping (sulfur to red, hydrogen to green, and oxygen to blue), Leonard flips this approach. In his version, oxygen is represented in vibrant red, sulfur in lush green, and hydrogen in deep blue. 

This unique OSH palette results in an electric and dynamic visual experience that captivates the viewer.

This image was shot from the light-polluted skies of Markham, Ontario, Canada, a suburb of Toronto. My 3 nm narrowband filters cut through the light pollution to provide crisp and detailed image data. - Steve Leonard
