PhotographerAlberto Di StazioLocationRomeDateJan 2012 (4 nights)EquipmentNextstar C11 f/10 with SBIG 8300 M using R, G, B filters. It is the sum of 27 pictures (all 90" long) for each channel, in binning 2x2. The guide scope was a Maksutov 90 mm. The autoguider was an imaging source DBK 21 AF04.DescriptionM1: the first object of Messier list, the remnant of the 1054 supernova. The picture was taken from the center of Rome. I can not still believe in what a CCD can deliver, even with a telescope which fork mount is not ideal for long exposure astrophotography. |

PhotographerLynn HilbornLocationGrafton, OntarioDateNov, Dec 2011 and Jan 2012EquipmentTEC 140 @f5.6 and FLI ML8300 camera on Takahashi NJP mount.DescriptionAn eerie blue glow and ominous columns of dark dust highlight M78 and other bright reflection nebula in the constellation of Orion. The dark filamentary dust not only absorbs light, but also reflects the light of several bright blue stars that formed recently in the nebula. The same type of scattering that colors the daytime sky further enhances the blue color. |
