NGC 6334 - The Cat's Paw Nebula

Link to full resolution image (7MB)


The Cat's Paw was one of the objects I managed to gather some data for on the side, while working on my 75 hours deep field Antennae Galaxies project. In total just over 19 hours was collected on this nebula which was a bit more than planned - but of course some extra data never hurts!
I had good seeing during this time so the result is a fairly high resolution Cat's Paw which I'm pretty happy with. I was also able to tease out some subtle colour nuances in this otherwise predominantly deep red nebula.

The Cat's Paw Nebula is located among the dense star fields of the southern constellation Scorpius. Being about 5,000 light years distant, in the direction towards our galaxy's crowded central region, it appears visibly reddened by large amounts of interstellar dust that lie between us and the glowing cloud. This gives it a much warmer deep red hue than most other emission nebulae. Some other nebulae which are similarly obscured are the gigantic NGC 3603 in Carina, as well as NGC 6357 (The Lobster Nebula), also in Scorpius.
The Cat's Paw Nebula contains up to 200,000 solar masses of material and is currently undergoing a starburst; producing new stars at a very high rate. These newborn stars are the ones that light up the nebula and cause it to glow with the prominent red colour of hydrogen emission. The starburst activity will likely not last more than a few million years, after which a number of large star clusters will have emerged and replaced the once glowing gas.
The nebula was first noticed by John Herschel in 1837 and its name refers to the distinct likeness with a giant feline paw print, particularly when viewed in wide field images.
It is some 50 light years wide and covers an area in our sky equal to that of the full Moon.

ImageAR 2192 by markg, on Flickr

26 Oct 2014 - the end of another day as the sun sets to the west of Wellington, New Zealand. It's been quite an active period lately for our Sun, and a massive sunspot - AR 2192, has formed. The sunspot is approximately 128,000km across, which is 10 time wider than our own planet Earth. The active region has already produced with 2 X-class flares with the potential of more to come. If this happens, then there is a chance of intense Aurora activity around the high and mid magnetic latitudes here on Earth.

You can see sunspot AR 2192 in this photo just to the right of the bank of cloud which partially covers the sun from the left.

Hilltop Startrails
Copyright: György Soponyai

Yesterday evening I observed and photographed the conjunction and occultation of Saturn and the Moon atop Kab Mountain, Hungary. I chose this observation place because of its perfect Western horizon and the foggy valley may act as beautiful foreground. I started photographing this 66-minute-long startrail sequence shortly after Moonset.
