PhotographerJesper GrønneLocationDenmarkDatejan. 1st. 2011EquipmentPiggyback modified Canon 5D II, EF 85mm 1,2L A single shot just 20 sec. postprocessed in Photoshop.DescriptionThe spectacular supernova remnant Veil Nebula. The source supernova exploded some 5,000 to 8,000 years ago, and the remnants have since expanded to cover an area roughly 3 degrees in diameter. |

PhotographerIgor ChekalinLocationTaganrog, RussiaDateNov 01 and 08 2010, Nov 29 2008EquipmentCanon 350D(self-modified,Baader's filter), Niokkor ED 180/2.8 @ 2.8, Astrodon 6nm H-alpha filter, EQ6PRO mount with auto-guidingDescriptionMosaic of 18 frames, each one is a sum of 3 x 15 min (iso800) sub-expositions. (but M42 region's frame is 8x15min). Total exposition time - 15 hours 25 min. Frames was aligned (astrometric reduction) and re-projected using Iris software. M42 region was HDR-composed (using unsaturated blue channel's image for nebula center) |

PhotographerHoward H BowerLocationChandler, AZDate11/17-11/18, 2010EquipmentImaging Telescope; Takahashi FSQ106ED Guide Scope: Takahashi FS60CB Autoguider: SBIG SG-4 Mounting: AP Mach 1 GTO Camera: QSI583w Astrodon NB 5nm Filters Ha: 4 Hours unbinned OIII & SII : 2 Hours binned 2x2 All sub exposures were 20 minutesDescriptionThe nebula itself is known as IC 410, and is home to a pair of intriguing structures commonly known as the "tadpoles." These are made of gas and dust left over from the formation of the cluster, and are likely forming new stars within them. It is found in the Constellation Auriga 12000 light years away. |
