Strange dark nebula Barnard 84

[tornado33]

Hi all
Ive seen this odd shaped nebula appear on an image of nearby NGC 6445 with the 6 inxh SN, so decided to specifically image B84 with the 10 inch.

8x10 mins ISO 400. UV/IR filter. Baader MPCC. Modded 350D, 10 inch f5.6 newtonian. Some high cloud present during the imaging.

Very nice field Scott. The highres version is very cool. :thumbsup:

Should name that "The Wasp":D:D

Nice shot, Scott:D

A great capture Scott, I have an image of this area but not a spectacular as yours.

Cheers

Scott, I'd love to know the RA and Dec of this target, and also if possible, can you give me some idea of its size? I suppose knowing the width and height of your field of view in arc minutes would do nicely!!

Fantastic shot, looks very interesting, someone mentioned wasp, I was thinking more along the lines of a dragon, but in any case, a great target, great focus, great guiding and processing making a real show stopping image!

Well done, and any info you can provide on the targets location and size would be awesome.

Cheers.
Alex.

Thats an unusual dark nebula, well captured Scott.

The overall image just looks a bit bronze in colour, without much star colour variation. Is this normal for this area of the Milky Way?

Not meaning to pick holes in your image, just my impression.

I always enjoy viewing your captures of DSOs.

Thanks all
I try to mimic the bronze colour that many images of the inner milky way seem to have, such as this image (http://www.cfht.hawaii.edu/HawaiianStarlight/AIOM/English/CFHT-Coelum-AIOM-Jul2002.html) by the CFH telescope

Fair enough, thanks Scott.

I'm curious if IR imaging would show stars at the ends of some of those columns of dust.

More than likely, depending on what wavelength you were imaging at, and if there were stars there.
