PhotographerHunter WilsonLocationLexington, OhioDateOctober 15, 2010EquipmentOrion ED80 Refractor Reduced 0.8, QSI 583WSG, Astro-Physics Mach1 GTO Mount, Astrodon 5nm SII, Ha and OIIIDescriptionLBN 667 - "Soul Nebula" in Cassiopeia - SHO Palette. Ha 8x15min ;OIII, SII 10x15min - All binned 1x1, Imager Temp -20C, Cropped Slightly for Framing. LBN 667 is the designation of the nebula, also known as Sharpless 2-199. Open clusters CR 34, 632, and 634 (in the head) and IC 1848 (in the body) are embedded in the nebula. The object is more commonly called by the cluster designation IC 1848. Small emission nebulae 670 and 669 are just below the lower back area. This complex is the eastern neighbor of IC 1805 (Heart Nebula) and the two are often mentioned together as the "Heart and Soul". |

PhotographerNiels V. ChristensenLocationCopenhagen, DenmarkDate16. Oct. 2010EquipmentWO FLT-110, Canon 20Da and Meade LX200ACF 16" on wedge, SBIG ST-8XME.DescriptionFocus here on the galaxy M110. The widefield picture was taken as 15*5min. subs. using WO FLT-110 and Canon 20Da camera. To enhance the M110 part in the widefield picture, a closeup LUM picture was added via Adobe Photoshop, exposure time 15*5min. using Meade LX200ACF 16" and SBIG ST-8XME camera. |

PhotographerDenis MarquisLocationSt-Agapit (Québec)Date18 sept. 2010 3:30h a.m.EquipmentCanon 1000D unmodified at prime focus (no filter). Orion refractor 110mm ed f/7 Televue equatorial mount RSM-2000. Manuel guiding. Exposure time:2min+ 3min.+ 4.5min (Total:9.5min.) Dark+ offset at ISO 800. Stack with DSS + PS3DescriptionHere we see the great Orion nébula and several other objets. This complex is located in the contellation of Orion and is eeasily visible to the naked eye. I left the photo film in 2002 and i am now back in, but with digital astrophotography. This is one of my two first photos taken recently. Thank you if you decide to publish. |

PhotographerHunter WilsonLocationLexington, OhioDateOctober 7, 2010EquipmentAPM/TMB 130/780,Field Flattener,QSI 583WSG,Astrodon Gen 2 LRGB filters, Mach1GTO Mount.DescriptionIC 59 and IC 63 (Sh2-185) - Gamma Cassiopeiae Nebula, L: 6x10min (1x1), RGB: 5x5min each (2x2), Imager Temp -20C. Despite their almost identical proximity to Gamma Cassiopeia and similar appearance, Sh2-185, or IC 59 (lower) and IC 63 (above and right) are actually quite different in their characteristics. Both are slowly being evaporated and dispersed into the interstellar medium by the nearby blue monster star. Gamma is 40,000 times more luminous, 15,000 times more massive, and rotates at about 300km/hr, or 150 times more rapidly than our Sun. |
