Barnard 150
« on: 2014 August 06 10:15:15 »
Hi all,

Just finished a new work, this time Barnard 150 in Cepheus:



Here at full resolution.

It has been done with a 20" Planewave and a Finger Lakes Proline 16803 at the Observatorio AstronĂ³mico de Aras de los Olmos. The image has nearly 19 hours of integration time. I did the exposures with RGB and Sloan z' filter. The last filter was used to enhance the emission of dust-reddened stars inside the nebulae, as it transmits light in the infrared from 800 nm. Here you have a crop of the RGB and RGBz images:


RGB:




RGBz:



The use of the z' filter enhances the star reddening and also shows new faint sources inside the nebulae. It also shows redder absorption nebulae because they emit light in the infrared.


Hope you like it.
Best regards,
Vicent.

Wonderful image! But I think your hi-rez link is broken. It works if I copy and paste. I think the ] is confusing things.
