ASTRO: IC 1871 coordinates
When I went to take the New Year's Baby photo and put in the coordinates
of IC1871 I got a surprise -- no baby, just what you see here. Actually I typed them in 10 minutes north due to a typo. Then I had to move a bit to the east to find a guide star so the coordinates would be below the "bow" and half way between the bow and the top of the baby's head on the right. Just an empty spot in space. But since I was there and didn't see much on the test frame I took it and this is the result -- not much. 14" LX200R@f/10, H-alpha 3x30 minutes binned 2x2, STL-11000M, Paramount ME Rick -- Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct. Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh". |

Great picture Rick. This small but interesting nebula was on my "to do list"
too. Let's see if I manage to get a picture this year. Stefan "Rick Johnson" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...
