PhotographerHunter WilsonLocationLexington, OhioDateSeptember 8, 2010EquipmentAPM/TMB 130/780,Field Flattener,QSI 583WSG,Astrodon Gen 2 LRGB, Astro-Physics Mach1GTO MountDescriptionvan den Bergh 152 in Cepheus, L: 22x10min (1x1), RG: 8x5min each (2x2), B: 15x5min (2x2), Imager Temp -20C, Full frame. Together, reflection nebula Cederblad 201 and Bok globule B175 are referred to as van den Berg 152, and sometimes called Lynds Bright Nebula 524 (LBN524). This collection of dark and bright reflection nebula is 1400 light years from earth in the northern constellation of Cepheus. |

PhotographerHunter WilsonLocationLexington, OhioDateData acquired and 8-18 and 8-26-2010. Processed 8-27-2010EquipmentAPM/TMB 130/780, QSI 583WSG, Astrodon 6nm Ha, 5nm OIII, 5nm SII, Mach1GTO MountDescriptionNGC 7380/Sh2-142 Hubble Palette,Ha 8x15min, OIII and SII 12x15min (1x1), Imager Temp -10C, Cropped for Framing. NGC 7380 is an open cluster associated with the emission nebula Sh2-142. This is a typical star forming region, the likes of which can be found throughout the galaxy. Another name for this object is the "Wizard Nebula" for it's resemblance to a wizard in a pointed hat. |

PhotographerHunter WilsonLocationLexington, OhioDateData Gathered 8-28-10, Processed 8-29-10EquipmentAPM/TMB 130/780,QSI 583WSG,Astrodon 5nm Ha, 5nm OIII, 5nm SII Filters, Lodestar autoguider, Mach1GTO MountDescriptionNGC 7000 "Cygnus Wall" and LDN 935 in Modified Hubble Palette, Ha, OIII, SII 8x15min each (1x1) , Imager Temp -10C, Cropped Slightly for Framing. What strikes me about this image is that the structure of NGC 7000 is almost unrecognizeable due to the color mapped nature of the data. Wavelengths were assigned in the traditional Hubble Pallette with Ha to green, OIII to blue, and SII to red. Then, because the Hubble Palette can be overly green, especially in Ha rich regions, the colors were adjusted to make the colorful and interesting format displayed here. Just as prominent in this image as emission nebula NGC 7000, perhaps even more so, is dark nebula LDN 935 (Lynd's Dark Nebula) - the dust that obscures the emission nebula to form the 'Gulf of Mexico' and dominates the entire right half of the image. |
