StDr 1 - a new discovery

Astrobin Top Pick

 

StDr 1 - a possible planetary nebula in the constellation of Taurus, discovered by Xavier Strottner and Marcel Drechsler in November 2019. This is the first time it has been imaged in colour. It is extremely faint - and so 1800 second exposures binned 3x3 were necessary.

 

Astrodon Blue: 17x300"

Astrodon Green: 18x300"

Astrodon Red: 18x300"

Astrodon Lum: 21x300"

Astrodon OIII: 8x1800s bin 3x3

Astrodon Ha: 19x1800s bin 3x3

 

Total Integration: 20 hours
