New Astrophoto from Phil Orbanes
Phil has sent us a spectacular image of nebula Sh2-63, which you can see
here https://gaac.us/gallery-2/phil2/#!prettyPhoto[phil2]/102/. You'll
want to click in the upper-right corner to enlarge this, hunt around for
stray galaxies, and appreciate every pin-point star.
Phil's notes on his new image follow:
"Sh2 63 is a molecular cloud on the border of Sagittarius and Capricorn. It
is larger than the full moon, but quite faint. Sh2-63 lies 14 degrees
south of the celestial equator. I originally imaged it a couple of years
ago, but was unhappy with the bloating of the stars, due to the low
altitude. However, with the advent of the new Pixinsight process, Blur
XTerminator, the star problem is solved. As you can see, the stars
surrounding Sh2--63 are now pinpoints. I believe there’s a galaxy on the
lower left."

Phil: Amazing image with great detail.
