IC 1848 Soul Nebula

Data acquired remotely from IC Astronomy Observatory, Oria, Spain.

 

Takahashi FSQ-106 telescope

 

Paramount MX mount

 

ZWO ASA 2600mm CMOS camera

 

Optolong SHO filters

 

This turned out to be a bigger project than expected! I’d originally shot this target a while back but the orientation was poor on our remote rig so I revisited the nebula and made a two-pane mosaic. Once done, I cropped some of the outer edges from the final image.

 

I’d like to dedicate this image to the memory of our dear friend Colin Cooper (IC Astronomy Observatory, Oria, Spain).
