NGC2626 & surrounding

[multiweb (Marc)]

Here's another couple of shots I did around NGC2626 in vela. It's pretty faint so still a little noisy. 3 panels of 15x5min each with the C11/Hyperstar. Bit of moon glow the second night but the extra data made up for a little more contrast. There's a bigger one here and a plate solve here that unfortunately tagged a lot of boring stars but not many nebulosity. I'm not sure what all this stuff is catalogued under but I think the bright one at the bottom left is GUM something. NGC2626 is the little crescent shaped neb in middle right. I also have attached a larger wide-field I did a couple of years ago with a 100mm lens showing it in context in the whole complex. It's at the bottom of the middle panel. Big chunk of sky with a lot of Ha.

Some interesting stuff out there, Marc!

Great looking photo Marc.

I love the tones and contrasts.

You really need to attach your colour camera to the Hyperstar.

Nice work Marc,Vela is quite a spectacular region.

Nice shots Marc. If you have an O111 filter the Vela area is a good target for bicolour.

Thanks Ross. Too much work to do coolout from home. Not enough time.

Thanks Greg. I do but I don't think I'd get a good ebough SNR in Oiii from my light polluted skies. It's pretty shocking. Gradients galore.

Could be RCW 32 [H-alpha emission regions in Southern Milky Way (Rodgers+ 1960)], Marc. Less likely Cederblad 106 [Catalog of bright diffuse Galactic nebulae, Cederblad, 1946)].

RCW 32 is the bright one at the bottom left. You're right. Looks like a mini-trifid. Don't know about the bigger one.

Well done Marc. Really enjoyable Mono images to look at there!

Inspiring work Marc. Certainly a wonderful part of the sky in NB.

Thanks for looking guys. Yes Bob, the 'bright' one is pretty faint already. The other one much fainter but the dark lanes popped up alright.
