Barnard 132
Barnard 132 is a long but thin dark nebula in southern Aquila some say looks like a tadpole. I don't see it, a slug maybe but not a tadpole. At the very top of the image is the much smaller Barnard 328 both are rather sharply defined and rated as a 6 in opacity, the highest-level. I was unable to find much on either of these.
Unfortunately I didn't realize Barnard 328 was in the image or I'd have move the center up a bit to better catch it. Like many of my September images this one was plagued by smoke and lake haze that played havoc with color balance. Seeing went down hill causing stars to be larger in red than blue or green giving most stars a red halo even if blue. The smoke and haze eliminated a lot of the blue and some green as well. I think I have the color balance fairly accurate after a lot of work. I took this one before I did NGC 218 I posted just before this one. But I was stuck on color balance so put NGC 218 ahead to give me more time to work on it. Both of these dark nebulae appear they would stand out well visually but I've got no log record of ever having looked for them before. 14" LX200R @ f/10, L=4x10' RGB=2x10', STL-11000XM, Paramount ME Rick Last edited by WA0CKY : January 5th 16 at 07:07 AM. |
