Planetary Nebula NGC 7354

[iansmith]

Hello All, 

Below is an image of the planetary nebula NGC 7354. This little nebula is in Cepheus, about 4200 light years from us, and thought to be approx 0.5 light years in diameter.

The image is a combination of narrow band for the nebula and broadband for the stars. Taken over several nights between October of last year and January this year it consists of: 16x900s 3nm Ha and 16x900s 3nm O3 subs for the nebula, mixed as red: 100% Ha; green: 50% Ha & 50% O3; blue 100% O3. The stars were captured using 15x120s subs through broadband red, green and blue filters. Equipment used: Celestron Edge HD 11 with 0.7 focal reducer, QSI 6120 CCD camera, ONAG and Ultrastar guide camera, mounted on a Mesu 200.

Hope you like it, comments and criticisms welcome.

Cheers, Ian
