The first light of my first mono setup is finally done! I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time… and the imaging session had a few surprises in store.
Category: Emission Nebula
Sh2-236 material that I originally created for a “with OWB” vs “without OWB” filter test. Somehow, it feels like a shame not to develop an image from it.
Sharpless 236, also known as IC 410 or the Tadpole Nebula, is an emission nebula located in the constellation Auriga, approximately 2185 light-years away from Earth, reaching its annual culmination at astronomical midnight mid. December.
I photographed the Elephant’s Trunk Nebula again, achieving an enhanced image with better equipment and longer exposure time across four sessions.
The Flame Nebula is a bright emission nebula located in the constellation Orion, approximately 900-1,500 light-years away from Earth. It reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight mid December.
Messier 43, located in the Orion constellation, is approximately 1,300 light-years away and reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight around mid-December.
The Wizard Nebula is an emission nebula located in the constellation Cepheus, approximately 5545 light-years from Earth. It reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight in early September.
The Eagle Nebula is an open cluster in the constellation Serpens, located 5,370 light-years from Earth, and reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight and is best observed late June.
The Monkey Head Nebula is an emission nebula located in the constellation Orion, approximately 3,200 light-years away from Earth, reaching its annual culmination at astronomical midnight at the end of December.
The Rosette Nebula is a large emission nebula located in the constellation Monoceros, approximately 5,219 light-years away from Earth, reaching its annual culmination at astronomical midnight at the end of December.
