NGC 7000 - 30.4.2023 at 23.51 - 1.5.2023 at 00.57 Janakkala, Tervakoski Observation number 115796

Visibility III / V

Petri Kuossari, Riihimäen tähtit. yhdistys

Labor day or actually the catch of the night. I photographed the objects of the Cygnus constellation with a double narrowband filter. With this filter, you can see the wavelengths of Hydrogen Alpha (H-alpha) and Oxygen III (O-III).

Adjusted the tones of the first image.

      In an emission nebula the hot stars nearby cause the gas glow. This should not mix with reflection nebula, where the gas is only lit up by nearby stars.

      The appearance of a gas nebula is irregular, and the fainter parts of it need bigger instruments to be visible.

       

      Emssion nebulae in Cepheus. The bigger part is composed of the nebulae Cederblad 214 (Ced214) and NGC 7822. The lower round nebula is called Sharpless 170 (Sh2-170). Image J-P Metsävainio.
