Re: APOD: RCW 114: A Dragon's Heart in Ara (2018 Jan 11)
Hi Ann, Look for NGC 6388 - to the far left of the frame at 10 O'clock. Cheers Andy Wow, thanks a lot, Andy! :D NGC 6388 is a bright yellow thing that looked like a star to me! Admittedly, it is a bit fuzzy at the edges. Ann Hey Ann, check out the image in high res here - https://www.astrobin.com/f...

Re: APOD: RCW 114: A Dragon's Heart in Ara (2018 Jan 11)
Good question, Boomer. I, too, wonder why the supernova remnant is so red. But maybe it doesn't have the energy required to ionize oxygen any more. Ann A challenge for Ann, find the two globular clusters! I can only find one, near bottom, at about 5 o'clock. It is very obvious. But as for the other...

Re: APOD: RCW 114: A Dragon's Heart in Ara (2018 Jan 11)
"20,000 years old", and it still looks "Angry".... If you used other filters, would you see other elements from the SN? Oxygen? for example? Or has that all dissipated too much? Wonderful image job... :---[===]* Hi Boomer - I tried using an O3 filter but there was virtually no s...

Re: APOD: The Pleiades Deep and Dusty (2017 Nov 14)
Probably the worst APOD I have seen in a loooong time - way overprocessed and pushed beyond the limit. I applaud what the author has intended to do to reveal the structures & dust, but one cannot simply cut corners and stretch insufficient data beyond all hope in the expectation a decent result....

M42 in Narrowband
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/attachment_browse.php?a=208267 M42 in Narrowband My take on this perennial favourite. There are some hints of the catlike ears of NGC 1999 at 4 o'clock and some cool shapes in the outer gaseous regions, not often seen, such as the EGG (Evaporative Gaseous globule)...

IC2177 - The Rise of the Phoenix
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/attachment_browse.php?a=208426 IC2177 in Narrowband Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, for me IC 2177 has a majestic avian-like presence. It's wings resemble ethereal curtains drifting in Stellar winds. Taken the widefield Stellarvue SV70T and QSI 683wsg8 There...
