Here is another Orion Nebula (SH2-281) but I wanded to use it on my new camera with the KAF 8300 sensor. This is a a 2 hour (6x20) exposure in the H-Alpha channel blended in wit 10 minutes (1x10) to help resolve the core area. The Color was 2 hours each channed (10x12) using my MakNewt 8 inch F/4

The Horsehead region in narrowband was very enjoyable and reveals things I have not seen before in this region.
Re: Recent Submissions: 2011 January 28-31
Hmmm... interesting; I cropped this from the linked Supernova Remnant image. Looks like a little halo or, if one prefers, a gaseous toroid.

Re: Recent Submissions: 2011 January 28-31
Hi Owlice,
This is a little surprise in the image, is a planetary nebula called PLN 116+0.1 or WE 2-262.
Best regards

Thanks! I think I'd have missed it entirely if I hadn't looked at the large version.escilla wrote:This is a little surprise in the image, is a planetary nebula called PLN 116+0.1 or WE 2-262.

I used the light from an 18.6 day old moon to illuminate the landscape, revealing a herd of horses. The constellation of Monoceros is completely visible, while Canis Major and Puppis are only partly visible along the horizon. ~ Robert ArnA closed mouth gathers no foot.

Re: Recent Submissions: 2011 January 28-31
Well, thanks! I don't know what the object is, but I guess it is a planetary nebula. It sure looks nice and blue, so I like it!

Yes, it's a planetary nebula, NGC 1514. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_1514Ann wrote:Well, thanks! I don't know what the object is, but I guess it is a planetary nebula. It sure looks nice and blue, so I like it!![]()

Ann,
Yes, it is indeed NGC 1514, aka the Crystal Ball Nebula (something it apparently resembles when viewed visually.) IMy apologies, I seem to have dropped the title on the cutting-room floor.
This planetary is unusual, in that it appears to envelop a tightly orbiting pair of stars, one a dying giant, the other an already more-or-less dead white dwarf. Tough luck for any planets in the neighborhood.
Best,
Bob

M104 Wide and Closeup Images
Here's two images of M104 done in the last two weeks. One was taken with a TOA-130 refractor and the other with a AT RC10". I really love the symmetry of this galaxy!

Re: Recent Submissions: 2011 January 28-31
This is one I have had trouble with because Aldeberanis so close so I have to have someone else use his telescope to capture it. it is a cool object and I did blend the H-Alpha into it but very little of it.
Used an E-210 F/3 with and ST-10 XME, Just RGB with a little HA mixed in.

This page: http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2008/0 ... piter.html contains some excellent images that should be considered for an APOD. In particular, the animated eruption of a IO volcano, seventh from the top.
