Visibility Unclassified

Tero Hirvikoski, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)

The object in the picture is part of a larger nebula complex known as Heart Nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. The filming dates were November 25, 2017 and December 21-22, 2017. Even less exposure would have been sufficient for the main subject itself, but a total exposure time of ten hours made processing easier and exposed the dimmer mist to the environment.

Additional information

Observation target
- Deep space object
Designation
- IC 1795
- Luokittelematon

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.

Silmä lepää tässä kuvassa, tekniikka hallussa ja hyvin käsitelty.
