Thackeray Globules

[RayOfLight]

Hi IIS!

Here is another image of a southern object in Centaurus, catalogued as IC2944. It is known for its interesting Thackeray Globules (center part of the image). Taken through a 3-inch, and composed of mainly 15-minute long subexposures, captured from Singapore via hygrogen alpha.

Hi Remus

We call them "Bok Globules"..?

Nice work though! :thumbsup:

Here is a closer view of the area, also in Ha, that I took earlier this year:

Nice to see different views of the same region to get a better overview of such an extended object.

Any more balcony shots? :)

Hi Mike,

Loved your shot too! Image scale was certainly better and you could see the globules up close like Hubble's. Did you go for the AIC conference? It must have been insightful experience. Your M83 shot is amazing!
