IC 2944, also known as the Running Chicken Nebula, the Lambda Centauri Nebula or the λ Centauri Nebula, is an open cluster with an associated emission nebula found in the constellation Centaurus, near the star λ Centauri. It features Bok globules, which are frequently a site of active star formation. However, no evidence for star formation has been found in any of the globules in IC 2944. Other designations for IC 2944 include RCW 62, G40 and G42.

Do you see the alien skull? This is the Rosette Nebula, a region of atomic hydrogen that has been ionized (HII region) by the star cluster in the middle.

 

The plan was to take about 40 x 200s exposures resulting in over 2 hours of integration. However, a tree came out of nowhere and ruined all the best laid plans of mice and screwed up guiding in most of the photos. At the end only 7 images were usable resulting in just under 25 mins of data.

 

The structure is about 5000 ly away and 130 ly wide.

Near and Far: This photo shows a small piece of the sky in the constellation Cepheus. A full moon would almost exactly fit between the two primary objects in the photo. The star cluster NGC 6939 near the bottom is within our Milky Way galaxy, about 4000 light years from Earth, as are all the stars in the photo. The galaxy NGC 6946 near the top of the photo is about 25 million light years from Earth, 6000 times further away than the star cluster. This difference in distance is like looking at your hand, one foot away from your eyeballs, while also seeing something a little over a mile away from you, with nothing in-between your hand and that thing a mile away. There's nothing visible to us between the star cluster and the galaxy. Space is really, really empty.

Very difficult object to image. I wasn't planning on imaging it but rather the Globular Cluster itself. When I returned home from Africa, Rich Jakiel was looking at the image and suggested we get a detailed finder chart of the PN just in case it was there. We secured a finder chart, very detailed, from Hubble images. The article mentions the red star and the blue star above and below the PN. The PN itself is the light blue spot between the two stars.

NGC 6997 is a Star Cluster + Nebula in the Cygnus constellation.

M57: A sunlike star ran out of hydrogen fuel about 1600 years ago and became a red giant, shedding it's outer layers to form a sphere of expanding gas as it subsequently contracted into the white dwarf in the center of the ring. The object's name is 'Messier 57', or the 'Ring Nebula'. The white dwarf has the mass of our Sun, but only the diameter of the Earth. The light this dead cinder of a star emits as it cools makes the expanding gas sphere glow. The edges of the sphere appear brighter than the center since we're seeing only a thin layer at the center, but a great depth of glowing gas at the edges, piled on top of each other. This is the fate of our sun, in about 5 billion years. This object is quite small in our sky, being 1/24 the diameter of the full moon. It is perhaps 2570 light years away. This photo is built from 63 one-minute exposures, taken on Aug 6 2020.

Star Clusters, can be really nice to look at. Binoculars will show some of the larger, brighter ones quite well.This is through an 8 inch reflector.

I cheated!

 

So I went back to my data again in PI. Tried reading through the PI tutorials on using ACDNR and I was able to understand a lot more about how to use the tool. Got something so so out of it. I really wasn't too happy about the results. When I put some before and after images together, I was turned off by the views.

 

So on a whim, I exported a 16 bit tiff from before the ACDNR exercise and ran that through Noiseware. Given what I've learned in PI, I was able to tweak that software a lot faster. The results that I got in less than 10 minutes of working were cleaner and much less grungy than what I'd been getting after several hours in PI. I know that I'd be able to duplicate the same results, I just don't know the settings.

 

Anyhow, I was able to reattach the FIT headers and Annotate the image.

 

So, it's done now.
