The Chinese dragon and M83.
Hi,
The weather is crap at the moment, so it’s time for a repro and one image with limited data.
NGC 5189 planetary nebula in Musca, ( The Chinese dragon ) the other name for it. I only have 40 minutes data due to bad weather but it’s a fascinating object to image, such a beautiful shape!
After seeing Mikes, and Richards image I just had to have a go. I can’t get the HA regions to well with the unmodded DSLR but I’m still happy with it.
I’ve done what Richard did and supply the original full frame to show how small it is in the field.
Below details from guide 8.
Comments from the NGC-IC Project:
Planetary nebula
Type: PN
RA: 13 33 32.9 (J2000)
declination: -65 58 27
Magnitude: 10.3
Major axis: 2.60 arcminutes
Constellation: MUS
Alternative designations:
IC 4274 PK 307-3.1 ESO 96-PN16 CS=14.1
Right ascension: 13h33m32.9s
Declination: -65 58' 27"
NGC 5189: remarkable, bright, pretty large, considerably
extended, brighter middle curved axis, 4 stars (pl.)
involved.
My repro of M83 I think is an improvement on my original. My aim was to get the magneta out and try and bring out the HA areas, limited success with the later.
Cheers,
Justin.
