NGC 7662 The Blue Snowball

[darditti]

Taken last month with C-14, Meade 0.63 reducer, Art 285 and narrowband filters. Looks more green here because of the colour combo used. This funny little chap is only 36 seconds across.

The nebula shows up primarily in OIII (green) and a bit in H alpha (red), for which I used 1 minute subs. To get anything to show through the SII filter (blue) I had to go to 5 minutes. This is why the stars are blue.

Excellent image of a really difficult target David.

Well done.

Impressive

Nice one. Lots of detail in a tiny object. I think the colour of the nebula looks just right as it is, perhaps shift the hue of the stars without touching the neb?

Lovely shot David, not seen it that close up before.
