IC1283 and Friends

[Paul Haese]

Here is another image out of Swan Reach Imaging. It is of IC1283 and the surrounding reflection and emission nebula. There is every type of nebulosity visible in this field. It's another great example of the objects on offer in the Milky Way during the winter months.

I collected data over 18 nights but only kept data from 15 of those nights. The total integration of the data is 24.5 hours. I collected L Ha RGB.

Exceptional Paul - one of your best images and possibly the best I've seen of this field. Bravo.

This is such a great shot and a really interesting composition. So much to take in! Well done!!

Once again Paul you have set the bar high, and that's a good thing.

Exceptional image

Thanks guys for the comments. It's a great field and lots to see within even this smaller field of view.

That's a lovely image Paul, I think the narrower field works well for this object/field, concentrates the interest to the good bits, the wider area around here is a tad plain IMO.

Very nicely done Paul. 👍 It sure is a very pretty field!

I think you're crushing some faint shadow detail though. Especially in the dark area to the right.

Very nice Paul, lovely colours and a bit of everything. Well done!

[multiweb (Marc)]

Superb field. Stars are so tiny and details are awesome. One for the cool wall

Always admiring images Paul, quite the busy area and facinating to ponder on,, the Hi-Res is sweet...

Lovely image, Paul.

Is that a Bok globule in front of the blue nebula? I see it in other images so definitely not an artefact, but I can't find a reference for it.
