The color version of this is pretty but this black and white H-alpha is great!

Hi there,

this image was captured on Tenerife island (Luminance+Halpha) and Germany. The imageprocessing was done by Thomas Henne, Astrophotographer from Austria.

The Link below shows a comparison between my picture and Kitt Peaks 4m mirror. You can see that i´ve captured HH450 as well as SNR G110.3 + 11.3. HH450X is also clearly visible. PN WeHt5 can be seen in the upper left corner. One interesting Fact about vdB152 a.k.a ced201 is decribed by John Bally and Bo Reipurth. Quote: "Witt et al. (1987) find a velocity difference between star and cloud of 11.7 km s-1, suggesting that the star has entered into a chance encounter with the globule within the last 3 × 104 yr " Which means, the Star that is illuminating the Reflection Nebula was not born in the Dark Cloud. This is, i think unique.

Thanks Geckzilla! The H-alpha picture and the colour picture are matching pairs with the stars aligned. In a possible alternating or mouse-over pop-up setting, it is really interesting to see the nebulae jump into view. The foreground will also be seen moving in the minutes passing between shooting the pictures.
