ngc 2626 area
Hi all
I came across this rather obscure nebula amid very faint H alpha nebulosity on left side and possibly dark nebulae. The strange shadowlike appearance on top part of NGC 2626 is odd. The night was cool and rather dark for Newcastle. Cloud was forming to the east and west but left the imaging area perfectly clear, that is till I was finished, then it quickly clouded over! Talk about good fortune. Object was crossing meridian when I stopped. having to work tomorrow and the sudden arrival of the clouds stopped any chance of a meridian flip
Image is 12x5 mins ISO400. Totally unfiltered so as to recieve near IR light as well. Modded 350D. 10 inch f5.6 newtonian. Offaxis hand guided
Image could do with more then 1 hour. Ideally several hours at a darker location would have gone great.
