Just yesterday I became aware of a new "bubble nebula" in Cygnus near the
Crescent. It is so perfectly round with such a well defined border that it really looked like a plate defect in the discovery shot. I imaged it last night at 0.41"/ pixel using the 18" f/12.6 classical cassegrain (F=5760mm), the FLI Proline 9000 and the Baader Planetarium 50 x 50 mm square Halpha filter The total exposure time was 10 x 20 minutes or 3 hours 20 minutes http://www.narrowbandimaging.com/cbu...er_ha_page.htm Perhaps I can get a chance to shoot some other emission line filters in the near future..... I looked at my old widefield from 2004 and reprocessed it a bit to better highlight it. Unfortunately it is a coarse image scale but it is definitely there |
