NGC7822 - it needs a name!

[Adreneline]

This is Ha data from last night (60 x 180s) taken with a RedCat 51 and ASI1600MM-Pro combined with some old OIII and SII data taken with a Samyang 135mm + ASI1600MM-Pro.

NGC7822 is one of my favourite targets and I always think it is rather sad that it doesn't have a catchy name.

As always C&C welcome.

Thanks for looking.

It looks like a foetus in the womb to me

Thanks for the kind comments Jeremy and Peter. The Ha data from last night was really good - I just need to get some equally good OIII and SII now.

Seems the name is already taken 🤣

Lovely  image Adrian.

Great Image Adrian 🙂

At the right rotation I see a dogs head in this.

Thank you Tristan. I needed a break from trying to sort my guiding with the 294 and 7822 presented itself nicley at midnight so out with the RedCat!

Thanks Steve. With the Samyang I can get the Little Rosette at the bottom in the same frame. It seems odd the Little Rosette gets a name but NGC7822 is left out in the cold.

You could definitely imagine a head of some sort in there!

It seems more like a brontosaurus head.

 

Brontosaurus head Nebula!

I always thought this was the skull nebula. Rotate it 90 degrees clockwise

For some bizarre reason my mount refuses to slew to NGC 7822. No idea why.

Yes, I thought exactly the same.

I did think dinosaur at first but thought it was a bit of a mouthful, but yes I do agree.

Yes I can see that too 🙂  but that's the name of NGC246 I think.

Lovely Adrian - nice blending of the two data sets as well!

I've always thought skull when seeing this rotated.

Thanks Lee - it all worked out quite well really - the Ha data was very good which helped.

Here with a rotated version - you're right, it does look like a skull.

Very strange! Maybe it is "spooked"by the sight of it

Nice image Adrian, it always looks like a skull to me, at least in it's entirety, but the Nebula in the middle often gets imaged on it's own, and that too needs a name, and the only thing I think it resembles is a fancy Planter or World Cup.

Thank you Carole. As 'skull' is already taken maybe 'cranium' is up for grabs.

I've got to be honest and say I can't see the Planter or World Cup but then I've not had my tablets yet today!

Looks like Micky Mouse to me

It's this bit I mean.

My immediate thought was Sloth from The Goonies (think it must be the 'ears')

[Xiga]

Very nice Adrian.

How does the 'Cosmic Question Mark' sound? 😋

There is a small circular patch of Ha below the main object, which doesn't usually make it into most images of NGC 7822, but when you see the whole thing, I think it looks like a question mark.

Thank you Ciarán.

I imaged the 'whole thing' last December with the Samyang ....

... but the RedCat can't capture the same fov hence the focus on NGC7822 itself.

Cosmic Question Mark fits the bill very nicely although to be fair just about everything we image is a bit of a question mark  

I might have to try a mosaic with the RedCat and get a bit more detail than the Samyang offers. Another project to add to the list!

Thanks again.
