alan4908 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 NGC2282 is located in Monoceros and is a rarely imaged and understudied object. The area consists of an isolated molecular cloud that contains a variety of interesting objects such as reflection nebula, a young star cluster and star forming HII regions. It is believed that the cluster contains a significant population of pre-main sequence stars with an estimated age of 2 to 5 million years. The LRGB image below was taken with my Esprit 150 and represents 13 hours integration time (which took me over a year to accumulate in the sunny UK !)

symmetal Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) That's a great image, and one I don't think I've seen before. Very colourful. I'd call it the 'Fruit Bat Nebula' as it's looks to be eyeing up the raspberries. 😊 Alan Edited February 3, 2023 by symmetal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Foreman Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Like the colours. Very nice image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollypenrice Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Now that is a piece of work! Absolutely splendid, giving us something few of us have seen before despite its lying in a much-photographed constellation. It's also beautifully done. Hats off!

This is also my first image where I've used BlurXTerminator - the second AI version is very impressive. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
