Allsorts in Cassiopeia

[ollypenrice]

More exploring in Cassiopeia with the TEC140/Avalon Linear/Atik 11000. Alas I don't think it hangs together terribly well as an overall image but it's worth a cruise round the larger sized one to see some nice little objects.

The dusty snake and patches are (I think) LDN1332 1334 1337. The small cluster below that is NGC654 and the associated little reflection nebula is VdB6. The large cluster lower left is NGC663 while the small one way over to the right is Trumpler 1.

Colour 3 Hrs per channel, Luminance 6 Hrs. Total 15 Hrs in 10 min subs. Taken with Tom again, my processing here. Click on the image and the large version has a button lower left.

Olly and Tom.

Excellent. Not only have you captured the objects mentioned, you have some really big, faint neb in there and represent what I look for as "shade edges". Great job on that beautiful reflection nebula!

Another great image and map for us.  Does that Tec set up ever work...

Actually Olly, this area just might be a prime spot to look for what I'm looking for! I have a few high percentage spots to start from, thanks to this image...

Thanks guys.

A very pleasing image Olly. Had great fun working my way through all the objects captured. Thanks.

Cheers, Gerry. The red layer, if stretched to screaming point, has some hints of faint structure on large scales which would probably respond to an Ha layer. However, Tom is off on one of his megalomaniac projects and required me to demolish the TEC rig so he could continue to shoot the entire northern sky at 500mm FL! To be continued.

What a great way to spend some time - Looking around this image  Superb and really exciting to be able to give just a hint of other possibilities out there
