MarkS Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 This is a faint but interesting region - a low mass star forming area. CG12 is unusually far off the galactic plane for a cometary globule - its galactic altitude is ~21degrees. The reflection nebula NGC5367 is the fluffy pale blue region lit by a binary 9th magnitude star. The smaller deeper blue area is lit by a 10th magnitude star. The dark area is thought to be possibly a pre-star forming zone. The image was shot with ASA10N at f/3.6; DDM60 unguided; STT8300M camera; total exposure 4 hours RGB only.

MarkS Posted June 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Ron and Antonio, Thanks for the comments. CG12 is quite faint, so I should probably go back and get more time on it. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
