Please click on any image below to see a larger version

This page has ten images all taken on the night of the 6th/7th September covering CM2 longitudes from 306° to 048°. Here the night starts with Oval BA just past the meridian and we watch this feature going off the disk, along with its attendant white ovals and the distinct pair of black markings just behind it. The NEB shows some extraordinary detail, especially on its north edge (north is down on all these images). There is also a rather beautiful small red feature in the North Polar Region worthy of note.


All images taken with a C11 and SkyNyx2-0M at f/37 with Astronomik type-II RGB filters. Frame rate was either 66 or 39 fps (depending on transparency). 50 seconds per channel. Images are presented with South at top and the following edge at right.
