NGC5367 and CG12 Cometary Globule

[gvanhau]

Hello
It's been a while since my last post here...work, lack of time...
I have several images but no time to process them.

This is a reflexion nebula and Cometary Globule in Centaurus

I took this is one from San Esteban, at about 100Km from Santiago (Chile) with far better skies than at home.

Telescope: William Optics 98 FLT
Mount: old CG5 with syncscan kit
Camera: modified Canon 5D mkII; 35x10 min (5.8h) exposure
Apt for Capture and PixInsight for processing

That's an interesting target Geert and I have added it to my list!!
Thanks for sharing
Graham :thumbsup:

That's a nice field of view Geert. The colour is nice too. Having imaged this myself, I know how dim it is and the challenges it presents. I like your version.

nice one Geert, looks like a tough one to capture and process. the results are very pleasing.

cheers

Thank You Graham.

Thank You Paul.
It is ideed very dim, I could only barrely see the reflection nebula on my screen during capture.

Thank You Russ.

Looks quite nice Geert, that faint dusty stuff is usually pretty difficult to capture :)

That's a great shot Geert, I like seeing this dusty object in a wider field, reminds me of a shark gliding through the water :)

How would you rate that WO98FLT to cover a 16803 chip..?

Thank You Colin


Thank You Mike.
I dont think the WO98FLT will cover the 16803 chip, at least not with the type IV reducer/flattener I am using. I already have some vigneting and the stars are also a little distorted at the corners. May be with some other reducer/flattener.

Nice result, Geert! You must have had some pretty dark skies.

Cheers,
Rick.

Cheers for that Geert, yes I see what you mean :question:

Once again a lovely cosmic shark :thumbsup:

A beautiful photo of an obscure but great looking object.

Tank You Ross

Tank You Rick. Yes, in general, the sky is very dark, except to the south West, where some light dome appears at the horizon. Fortunatelly, when we go imaging to this site, the neigbours turn their lights out in order to preserve the darkness.
