LBN878

[petevasey]

Lynd's Bright Nebula 878 also catalogued as Barnard 35 and containing other catalogued objects, Ced 59 is the small bright area to the left of the main dense cloud, is situated in Orion, about 3 degrees ENE of Betelgeuse.  I'd previously seen images of this target taken from dark areas with wonderfully clear skies such as New Mexico.   But as often, seduced by its beauty, I decided to have a go anyway in cloudy old NE England!  With this result.  QSI 683 wsg on TMB 105 refractor with Starlight Xpress AO unit and Baader filters.  Luminance 16 x 10 minutes, RGB each 10 x 10 minutes all binned 2x2 over three nights, final data from 22nd January.

Cheers,

Peter

Well worth the effort Peter.  In the UK, we've just got to go for it!
