RCW58 now with added high rez data

Wolf Rayet nebulas show the power of those stars.

This is a rarely imaged nebula. It was rather poor seeing plus it was a bit low in the sky so stars are a tad blurry but you can see the nebula well enough with its radial spikes.

Nice one Greg, I agree the radiating spikes make the object interesting kinda like a mini Helix. I considered shooting this myself recently...too many objects not enough lifetime

Atmos (Colin) · #3 23-05-2016, 05:41 PM

WR stars are certainly an interesting breed, would LOVE to see what that looks like after it goes KABOOM!
Nicely captured Greg, not one that I have seen imaged before

Excellent work, Greg. I recall that's a difficult one to separate from the starry background. Structure nicely shown. Pleasing NB-Colour combination too.

Best,
Mike

Awesome!
Well done Greg.

Its an interesting one for sure. I probably will revisit this one with the CDK17. I already got some nice Ha data with it I should add to this.

Its a bit of an obscure object.

Well done on this one Greg. Colour looks good with interesting detail.

RickS (Rick) · #8 23-05-2016, 09:11 PM

The spikes certainly are very reminiscent of the Helix. Nice catch, Greg!

Ryderscope (Rodney) · #9 23-05-2016, 09:46 PM

A nice one Greg and a very interesting object.
Definitely worth placing on the capture list.

Thanks Luis. Sakib gave me a list of Wolf Rayet Nebulas after I posted an image of SH2 308 bubble nebula. Its been helpful.

Nice RCW58 Greg You've managed to blend your HA data in nicely.

I noticed you have some OIII data in there I have been trying to to process about 10 hours data i pulled for RCW58 i have a few hours of OIII at 12nm was trying to get some of the blue outer shell but with 3 hours integration showed no structure at all

.
Did you notice any real benefit to your OIII?

Hi Michael,

The O111 showed almost no structure. A faint outline at best

Regulus (Trevor) · #15 25-05-2016, 04:29 PM

Nicely captured Greg. It would be great to see a sharper image of this for all that interesting structure. Will you be having another crack at it?

Hi Trev.

I have some CDK17 Ha data I plan to add. That has more resolution to it. I might add some more later on from the CDK.

Greg.

gregbradley · #17 25-05-2016, 08:47 PM

I added 3 hours of CDK17 Ha data taken at F4.45 on Proline 16803.

Its brought out a lot more detail.

It stands out a lot more, really nice Greg

Thanks Colin. The CDK data was quite a bit more detailed. I might take more soon if its still up.

Nicely captured Greg. Those RCW objects are often very interesting. We should pay them more attention.
