Where's Waldo?

[Tom Davis]

Remember the "Where's Waldo" books from the late 1980's? Well, this
image is sort of like that! I thought I'd image near Collinder 399 to
see if I could pick up the very faint and illusive LBN 130. I got it
(sort of, it's really faint and without form) but I also got Sh2-83.
After Sh2-82, it's neighbor, 83 is sort of small and boring. 83 is
what I'm calling "Waldo". So, where is he?!!!

Make sure you check out the color data wider field image (ya, like any
of my images could be mistaken for narrow field!). It shows the
region in more perspective.


This image is not a wiz banger, but as you know, I'm always looking
for wide field targets that are new and challenging.


Comment/criticisms welcome.

Very nice image Tom. Not a part of the sky you see everyday.

I love the golden colour of the background stars. :)

:thumbsup:

The widefield does put everything into perspective Tom and displays the reflection nebula and the asterism really well. Thanks for imaging these rarely seen regions.

Beautifully done :thumbsup:

Lovely images Tom and I must say I much prefer the widefield colour data. Perspective and just sheer expance is nicer.
