NS2 (aka Magakian 13, DG4, GN 00.42.0 and so on...)

Confusion about this nebula. Different catalogs and different criteria about it´s nature. Close to the well know "Pacman" (and surely this is the reason which "eclipsed " and ignored NS2 to astrophotographers).. it´s a rare imaged area.by Bernhard Hubl and Rick Johnson , imaged it in the past and I tried to show the dusty enviroment and galaxies showing here and there..

A heavy light trace cross the image in diagonal.This is the result of the close 2.21 magnitude star Alpha Cassiopeia (Shedar)..No way to avoid it ..

 

 

 

More resolution (2400x1800) and more detailed information

The image was acquired with Autoslew, Sequence, MaximDL and all 8 minutes subframes ( about 130x 8 minutes subframes  L+R+G+B ) unguided.

Thanks for looking

There's a lot in this one! I don't think the diagonal trace is a problem - it doesn't really register in this very dense field.

 

Thanks for posting.

Thanks Mark. Glad you like it. This time I tried to go deep ...
