IC 2118 - 20.3.2023 at 22.12 - 20.3.2023 at 23.59 Kuopio Observation number 113581

Visibility I / V


From my location, I photographed this gas nebula, nicknamed the "Witch's Head", located very low in the southern sky. The tops of the tree came very quickly and the exposure time was a troublesome few hours. The focal length of the imaging tube was 600mm.

The picture can be found in a larger size on my website: https://astro.galleria.fi/kuvat/2014+Deepsky/NoidanpääSumu.jpg
