PhotographerHoward H BowerLocationChandler, AZDate1/3/2013-1/7/2013EquipmentEquipment : Takahashi FSQ106ED@F/5, AP Mach 1 GTO, FLI ML16803, SX Lodestar & Astrodon MOAGDescriptionSimeis 147, also known as Sharpless 2-240 is a large and extremely faint supernova remnant lying on the border of the Constellations Taurus and Auriga. It is approximately 3000 light years from Earth and covers an area of sky larger than 3x3 degrees. The supernova is estimated to have occurred over 30,000 years ago leaving behind this remnant and a spinning neutron star at its center designated as a pulsar PSR JO538+2817. It was discovered in 1952 in Simeis a then part of the USSR. The narrowband image is a composite of 36 hours of exposure. |

PhotographerTed RaffertyLocationUnited StatesDate2012/2013EquipmentSBIG ST-2000XM imager on an Orion 10-inch f4.7 reflector and Losmandy G11 mount. Guiding with a DSI Pro 2 imager on an Orion ST-80DescriptionCombining exposures taken recently with exposures taken last year, I produced this LRGB image of M109. The L image used was a combination of 38 600sec 1x1 binned exposures, the R and G images combinations of 360s 2x2 binned exposures, and the B image a combination of 480s 2x2 binned exposures. This image is cropped. Exposures were captured using Nebulosity 2 and the guiding by PHD. Image processing using DeepSkyTacker, Nebulosity 2, PhotoShop, and PixInsight LE. |
