PhotographerBernard MillerLocationAnimas, NMDateFebruary 10 - March 14, 2013EquipmentTelescope: TEC-140 (F7) Camera: SBIG ST-8300M Mount: AP900 GTO Luminance: 25x20 minutes (binned 1x1) Red: 12x15 minutes (binned 2x2) Green: 12x15 minutes (binned 2x2) Blue: 12x15 minutes (binned 2x2)DescriptionThis is a picture of Abell 21 (The Medusa Nebula). This is a planetary nebula about 1500 light years away in the constellation Gemini. This is an interesting PN due to the asymmetry in its composition. This could be because it is a very old PN. I chose this framing because the upper right corner of the image contains open cluster NGC2395 |

PhotographerEric GirardinLocationGrand-Praz (Swiss Alps)DateAugust-October 2012EquipmentFSQ-106 Paramount STL-11000M Astrodon Ha, OIII, SII filters Ha: 3h, OIII: 2.5h, SII: 2.5hDescriptionIC 1318 region. The bright star is gamma Cyg (Sadr) and the dark molecular cloud is LDN 899. The open cluster M29 is on the bottom right and NGC 6910 is on the top left. This is a "true color" narrow band filter image made according to the article in the December 2011 issue of Sky and Telescope, p. 70. Although less obvious than with the Hubble palette of color, the presence of OIII regions mixed with Ha and SII in the right bottom corner is clearly visible. |
