A busy bit of sky (M52 and Bubble region in Cassiopeia)

[Tim]

I took this one during our holiday at the site of the 2011 star party at Kelling Heath in Norfolk.

A very busy area of the sky in Cassiopeia.

M52 is the tight cluster of stars in the centre, with NGC 7635 "The Bubble Nebula" right next door. Various other nebulae are visible in the image, name them if you can

Image consists of 12 x 10 min exposures using a Borg 77EDII + 0.85 DGL reducer and a QHY8, stacked in DSS and processed in Pixinsight.

Thanks for looking.

Wow- a lot going on in there. It really is a 'busy' region.

[Black Knight]

You weren't kidding about it being a "busy" area of sky were you? Terrific image

[Fenriz]

That is a cracking image, great job.

[Sarah]

An amazing image Tim! Hope you enjoyed the remainder of your stay at Kelling.

Blimey, what a superb chunk of celestial real estate Tim, about 5 square degrees at a rough estimate, and packed with goodies.

Didn't even know you had a Borg.

Excellent! to put it mildly.

That is a stunning image. Well done.

Thanks guys, when I get a minute i'll run the image through Registar and get a count of the stars visible, although I have a much wider field milky way image in the middle of post processing which has many many more stars than this one!

Cheers

Stunning image. Great colours. Well done.

[Tom OD]

Nice Pic, and as you say very busy.

Martin H whats that jpeg you attached with the bit of sky,or I mean from what program or search it is from. My sky maps lack the van De Burgs, Shapeless and / Sharpless objects.

[Tim]

Thanks for the nice comments

Martin, I am also interested in the program you used to produce that image, thanks.

[martin_h]

The actual image I used was found on the web, but the program that produced it is here> Perseus - astronomy simulation software

Not free, but there is a free demo with cut down lists(very cut down!).

A stallar orgy! I'm surprized we don't see more of 7536 which looks like a nice little object in its own right.
