Rcw 103

[Stevec35]

Hi to all

I've noticed this one on Megastar from time to time and finally got round to imaging it. It's redder than I would have expected for a supernova remnant but I think that's the way it's supposed to be. Part of the data was obtained when there was a lot of moon but it doesn't seem to have made much difference.

Cheers

Steve

Great capture Steve :thumbsup: ..so many interesting tid bits up there huh? Im imaging one in Ophiuchus at the moment..a halo candidate :)

Very nice capture Steve, love the filaments in the nebulosity :)

Superb job there Steve! That one is very difficult to tease out from the starry background.

Just had a look at our ancient effort. Gulp. We might have teased a bit more OIII out of it, but yours is razor sharp, with no hint of deconvolution artifacts, and no hint of magenta halos. Excellent. :thumbsup:

[Stevec35]

Thanks M&T. It certainly turned out better than I expected.



Thanks Colin. Yes I like that feature too. Apart from the colour it's almost like a miniature Veil nebula.



Thanks Mike. I must get back to the halo candidates. There's a whole list of them piling up.

Nicely done Steve....the ion milling in your 'scope is really showing in that image...very contained and smooth stellar profiles. Good stuff!

[Stevec35]

Thanks Peter. I certainly don't regret buying that scope but I would also like to have one like yours too.

Hi Steve

Thats a fine image, the details are excellent. Will take a look through RCW at some point given there are some interesting objects you have been putting up lately.:thumbsup:

[Stevec35]

Thanks David. The rcw catalogue is certainly worth checking out.

That's very cool, Steve. Some fantastic fine detail.

Great stuff Steve....lovely fine structures resolved.

Beautiful work Steve! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I assume that very faint red scattered around the frame is real?

Great work Steve. I am quite fond of SuperNova Remnants and this one is nicely done.

Greg.

Thanks Greg. I'm surprised at the lack of OIII but apparently that's correct.



Thanks Marc. I certainly hope it is!
