Cometary Globule 1

[Tom Davis]

A near neighbor to the more famous CG4, CG1 is overlooked. I could not
find any color images of it with a basic internet search. Pretty
pastels paint the region.

A beautiful field & capture indeed Tom!
(I bet Mike is drooling at the prospect of having similar imaging kit on the way)

Awesome image! love the filaments stretching off the bottom one.

[strongmanmike]

Gargle gargle...dribble... :P

Exactly the same camera actually! Aaaaah super low and fast cooling, ultra low noise, fast download (aaaand no self guide :lol:) - just like yours Guy...only a little bigger :D

Hi Tom,

She's a beauty allright. Love this stuff, might even get around to taking some myself one day.

If I might make one small suggestion, it looks a little green to me. Could be that I've been staring at this monitor for several hours now, but it looks just a tad green?

Cheers

As usual an extremely beautiful image Tom. I did't even known about their existance, Vela seems to be a gold mine for peculiar objects :)

Clear skies
