Cometary Globule 11

[Tom Davis]

Cometary Globules are not image too frequently although many could be. Many are very small or very faint, but some are of good size/surface brightness for even wide field imaging. I have imaged 18 of them, which, I believe, is about as many as any amateur has done. Here is another, CG 11:

To see others that I have imaged go to my "Catalogs" page and look in the far right column entitled "Other". Then scroll down and click on the respective link.

You have supplied us with a real "running cometary" on these dusty fields Tom :P and have certainly built up an impressive catttledog of these piles of comsic dirt.

The stuff is everywhere, nice work

Really really nice Tom - have been following your CG quests closely - great images

Greg - Use a search engine like Simbad and just search for CG1, CG2 etc - it will return co-ordinates.

I should add - I am collecting data on the dark tower in Scorpius at the moent - a fairly easy CG - I understand how difficult it it is to process this stuff just above the background levels and not overstretch . Im starting to have some luck with Pixinsight with the masking techniques but not enough to publish yet.

Masterful work Tom
