Visibility III / V

Petri Kiukas

Pictured IC 1805 Heart Nebula. Located at night time thus fall almost directly above. The location of the subject brought some additional challenges to the preparations for the shooting, such as aligning the image area and searching for a tracking star from an awkward position (camera screens almost directly toward the ground). In addition, it had to be ensured that the tripod did not "drive" the camera into the tripod structures later at night.

Additional information

Observation target
- Deep space object
Designation
- IC 1805
- Keskitaso

Constellation
- Cassiopeia
Nebulae
- Emission nebula
  
  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.

  In this 4-degree-field there are emission nebulae Sh2-157, Sh2-158, Sh2-159, Sh2-161 and Sh2-162 (or NGC 7635 aka Bubble Nebula) and open clusters M52 and NGC 7510. Image Juha Kepsu.

Kiitos, tein samaisesta havainnosta uuden version hubble paletissa. Siihen kerätty SII suotimella hieman lisää valoa. Löytyy täältä taivaanvahdista sekin.
