Taken in Sheffield on 16 August 2023, at 00.47 bst, with Celestron NexStar 6se SC Telescope and Altair Hypercam 183c Camera. Movie captured with SharpCap, stacked in AS!3, with post processing in Registax 6 and Ps.

 

Seeing was average, but I'm quite pleased with the result.

Globular Cluster M22 (NGC 6656), 12 1/2" newtonian, f/5.1, coma corrector, and Nikon D850 on a home built altazimuth mount driven by an OnStep controller. This is a result of stacking and aligning multiple frames in SharpCap Pro. This image was acquired from a relatively short capture period before moonrise on July 9, 2020, stacking only about 50, 2-second frames.

 

M22 is one of the most spectacular globular clusters visible from earth and arguably the best easily visible from my latitude. It is one of the closest globular clusters at a distance of about 10,400 lightyears.

Storia

Nel 1955, l'astronomo americano George Ogden Abell scoprì una grande nebulosa a forma di arco con bassa luminosità superficiale durante un'indagine POSS (Palomar Observatory Sky Survey), che inizialmente pensava fosse un'antica nebulosa planetaria. Lo elencò come numero 72 nella sua versione del 1955.

 

RW Wilson e JG Bolten del Radio Observatory del California Institute of Technology studiarono la radiazione galattica nel 1959. Hanno scansionato il cielo ad una frequenza di 960 Mc/s con un'antenna con un'ampiezza del fascio di 0,8° su un raggio di 300° di longitudine galattica e hanno trovato 110 sorgenti radio discrete. Alcuni di essi non potevano essere identificati visivamente con gli oggetti sui tabelloni POSS, incluso il numero 1 (CTB 1, CTB = Caltech Observation List B), che aveva un diametro di circa 1°.

 

Nel 1965, l'astronoma americana Beverly T. Lynds pubblicò il suo catalogo delle nebulose luminose. La nebulosa è elencata lì come regione H-II LBN 116.81+00.03 (LBN 576).

 

Nella seconda pubblicazione di Abell sulla sua indagine sulle antiche nebulose planetarie nel 1966, elencò la nebulosa come numero 85 e 2077x2077 secondi d'arco di diametro. Lo descrisse come un anello non simmetrico con punti o regioni luminosi. Notò anche: "Il centro della radiosorgente estesa CTB-1 [...] è 0,4° a est della nebulosa; "Potrebbe essere un resto di supernova."

 

Nel 1968, CTB 1 fu confermata come residuo di supernova da A. Poveda e L. Woltjer.

 

Nelle immagini a esposizione molto lunga, la nebulosa appare come una bolla di gas, che ricorda una sezione trasversale di un cervello umano con un'estensione del midollo spinale (midollo allungato), motivo per cui CTB 1 è stata soprannominata la "Nebulosa Midollare" tra gli astrofili. Alcuni, più volgarmente, la chiamano "Nebulosa Aglio" per la sua somiglianza con una testa d'aglio.

 

Proprietà fisiche

CTB 1 è il resto di una supernova, la morte di una stella massiccia il cui nucleo collassa dopo aver esaurito il combustibile nucleare.

La radio pulsar PSR J0002+6216 è stata identificata come risultato della stessa supernova.

Si trova sulla punta di una coda cometaria di emissione radio non termica, strettamente collimata, lunga circa sette minuti d'arco, identificata come l'onda d'urto di prua della Nebulosa del Vento Pulsar.

La coda della nebulosa punta indietro verso il centro geometrico del resto di supernova CTB 1.

Ad una distanza di 2 kpc, la pulsar ha una grande velocità trasversale di 1100 km/s.

Un'esplosione asimmetrica di supernova potrebbe essere la causa di questa velocità di nascita della pulsar.

Si stima che la supernova abbia una distanza di 10.000 anni luce, visibile nella costellazione di Cassiopea.

I embarked on a mammoth lunar imaging session on 10th February so I could produce an animation showing the sunrise over some prominent craters. I've already shared the video I created with the data but am now sharing the still images. If you didn't see the animation you can watch it here:

flic.kr/p/2n38rfm

 

I was imaging from15:45 UT until 22:30 UT and during that time the Moon changed its illumination from 69% to 72%.

 

Taken from Oxfordshire with a William Optics 70mm refractor and ASI120MC camera through a Celestron 3x Barlow. A 2,000 frame video was shot with SharpCap and depending on the quality graph I stacked either 50 or 25% of the frames using Autostakkert! 3. Processing with Lightroom and Fast Stone Image Viewer.

 

Taken from Oxfordshire, UK with a Coronado PST H-alpha solar telescope + Celestron 3x Barlow and ASI120MC camera. The telescope was on an EQ5 Pro mount, tracking at solar rate.

2,000 frame video captured with SharpCap, the best 75% stacked using Autostakkert! 3, then processing was done using Lightroom, Photoshop CS2, Fast Stone Image Viewer and Focus Magic.

 

This was an impressive region of prominence activity on the south eastern limb, and it was amazing to see how the area had changed in the space of an hour. There were several filaments visible on the disc as well.
