New Medusa Nebula from Phil Orbanes
Phil has sent us another long-term project, a newly completed image of the
Medusa nebula. It's a great image, and if you supersize it you can get lost
searching out all the barely-there galaxies. See it here
https://gaac.us/gallery-2/phil2/#!prettyPhoto[phil2]/118/.
Phil's notes on the object and the image follow:
"The Medusa (Abell 21) is a planetary nebula in Gemini, the result of a
star’s death about 9,000 years ago. It is relatively close to us at 1,500
light years in distance, and so it appears to be quite large (about 10’ x
10’) in the sky.
"I began photographing the Medusa in 2017, and have added to it since. This
enhanced (and enlarged) image was made possible by applying BlurXTerminator
and several of Pixinsight’s sharpening processes. As a bonus, more faint
blue, energized oxygen has made an appearance."
Hi Phil
Great detail and really like how the colors look so natural
