Sharpless 152 (LBN 519 and others) is the smaller nebula next to the larger Sharpless 153 (LBN 518 and others). Both of these are located in the top corner Cassiopeia. Ha – 27x1800s – 810 minutes – bi

Hi all: Cepheus is full of dust and VdB 152 is one of the most interesting regions: <http://www.greggsastronomy.com/IMAGES/vdb152_LRGB.jpg> Also in the FOV is the planetary nebula PNG 111.0+11.6: <htt

Absolutely Stunning! Truly great image! I am curious what software you used to stitch the images. Since the sky is spherical and not flat, the edges do not fit together unless some sort of image stret

Just a FYI for everyone. We are on site and should be here through at least the star party. It normally takes me a day to recover from the 13 hr drive but if anyone has an emergency.. we are now here

Hi, This is an image of NGC2175, also known as the Monkey Head Nebula. It was captured and processed in narrowband using the Hubble palette. It is an emission nebula about 6,400 light years away in th

Hi all The DSNM star party is coming up soon and Al and I are opening up our Planewave 20" for visual use during that weekend. We found however, that since we all are primarily imagers, we have a dist
