More Chamaeleon

[kosborn]

The best views from my house are to the south, and my favourite targets are dark nebulae, so there's no better place to point than Chamaeleon. This is the Chamaeleon I cloud, apparently the closest star forming region to us. Lots of interesting objects - reflection nebulae, lots of dark nebulae, a couple of Herbig-Haro objects, some distant galaxies, and even a dog. I wasn't expecting to find a dog! More details and a bigger image are on Astrobin (https://www.astrobin.com/aj62fv/).

Wow love that detail!

Quite amazing from the burbs of a near half million pop city.
Nice brown dust and yeah, how's that dog? Cool :thumbsup:

Beautiful!

Chamelion lives in the glow from Brisbane CBD for me - but I have about 5 years worth of planned targets for dark sky site trips all in Chamelion!

Nicely done!

Lovely shot


Feel very nerdy saying it, but I love dust!! LOL

[kosborn]

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments!





Thanks Mike.

This pic was 23 or so hours of peering through the light dome of Woden Town Centre. The blue background in the left lower corner isn't a subtle extension of the Ced111 reflection nebula. It's the Westfield Plaza reflection nebula! :lol:

Yeah, well maybe... but it looks good, so even more of an imaging genius! :cheers: :D

Thanks Martin. I dream of a dark sky site and an observatory so I can do it properly, without any Westfield nebulae!

[kosborn]

Aw shuks. Genius? Yeah, nah. I'd love a dark site where I could try to do it properly!

I'm enjoying your Chameleons Kevin. Nice work :thumbsup:
