Kronberger 50 #Explored
Hampshire Astronomical Group Picture of the Month March 2020.
Published in Astronomy Now Magazine April 2020.
Kronberger 50 is a very faint filamentary circular planetary nebula in the constellation Cepheus. It is without any doubt the faintest target that I have ever attempted. I can find no examples of it on Astrobin, nor on a Google search, so I believe that this is the first time that it has been imaged in colour.
Astrodon Blue: 20x300"
Astrodon Green: 22x300"
Astrodon Red: 22x300"
Astrodon OIII: 32x1800s bin 4x4
Astrodon Ha: 52x1800s bin 3x3
Total Integration:47.3 hours
Captured on my dual rig in Spain.
Scopes: APM TMB LZOS 152 (6" aperture 1200mm focal length)
Cameras: QSI6120wsg8
Mount: 10Micron GM2000 HPS
