PhotographerBernard MillerLocationRancho Hidalgo, NMDateAugust 27, 2011EquipmentTelescope: TEC-140 (F7) Camera: SBIG ST-8300M Mount: AP900 GTO Luminance: 12x10 minutes Red: 6x10 minutes Green: 6x10 minutes Blue: 6x10 minutesDescriptionThis image shows IC 5146, also known as the Cocoon Nebula. It is both a reflection and an emission nebula about 3300 light years away in the constellation of Cygnus. A reflection nebula reflects the light of nearby stars, while an emission nebula is formed when light from nearby stars ionizes the gas and makes the nebula glow. This nebula does a little of both. The IC 5146 actually refers to the star cluster at the center of the nebula while Sh2-125 is the actual nebula. The nebula is about 15 light years in diameter. You can also see the dark nebula Barnard 163 which surrounds the nebula and forms a dark trailing cloud extending to the west of the nebula (to the right in the picture. |

PhotographerMike JenningsLocationLeeds, EnglandDate1900UTC sep 6 - 2011Equipmentcelestron c8 with canon DSLR at prime focusDescriptionI wanted to capture the entire moon at the best quality i could. The scope was not tracking so i went for a high ISO and fast shutter speed to limit motion blur. The moon was low in the sky but seeing quite good. I think its about a 10 day old moon and shows some of the southern craters quite well |

PhotographerBernard MillerLocationRancho Hidalgo, NMDateAugust 28, 2011EquipmentTelescope: TEC-140 (F7) Camera: SBIG ST-8300M Mount: AP900 GTO Luminance: 12x10 minutes Red: 6x10 minutes Green: 6x10 minutes Blue: 6x10 minutesDescriptionThis is an image of NGC 7023, also known as the Iris Nebula. NGC 7023 is a bright reflection nebula in the constellation Cepheus. The nebula is reflecting light from the bright central star HD 200775. You can also see the dark cloud of dust and gas surrounding the nebula. This dark cloud consists of tiny particles of solid matter, with sizes from ten to a hundred times smaller than those of the dust grains we find at home. The nebula is about 1300 light years away and has a diameter of about 6 light years. |
