groberts Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) An HII star forming region of dust and gases, sculpted by the radiation and interstellar winds emanating from the young (3 – 4 million years) open star cluster Dolidze 25 located near its centre. Along the inner edge of the main ring structure are numerous dark dust pillars and Bok Globules, not unlike those of the Elephant’s Trunk nebula. Despite its resemblance to the Elephant’s Trunk and the nearby Rosette nebula, it’s apparent size is smaller and much fainter in nature but still forms an excellent late winter image target which I really enjoyed imaging and processing. Graham Imaging Details: William Optics GT81 + ZWO ASI294MM Pro camera + Chroma RGB and 3nm narrowband filters. Taken over 5-nights between 6th and 13th February SHO Hubble palette processed in PixInsight Ha 53 x 300s OIII 36 x 300s SII 36 x 300s RGB 104 x 60s Total integration = 13hr 14min Edited March 12, 2023 by groberts 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
